I'm on for a restart to the smoothie challenge. I had a couple of little blips (no greens in the house! for one) SO, today I will have one of my bok choy smoothies.
2 small bunches baby bok choy
1 cup fresh pineapple
1 large banana
1 cup frozen sliced strawberries
4 ozs Bolthouse Farms passion orange guava juice
1 cup filtered water

Tomorrow~ red swiss chard
~rita27ny~ the green is GREENS. You can use anything, but for beginners it's best to use spinach, red and green leaf lettuces, romaine lettuce, swiss chard, bok choy are a few. Rotate your greens and it's okay to mix them. Use that kiwi with some baby spinach and strawberries. Parsley (celery too) has a strong flavor and will over power the flavor of a smoothie if you use a lot of it, unless that is what you are looking for because you love the taste of parsley. It's great in a savory smoothie. Excellent for water retention too.
~Kokomojoe~ What blender do you use? I have an Oster Fusion blender. It breaks kale down to really small bits that I don't have to chew. Pretty good for a budget blender. I would love to have a blendtec or vitamix.
~ashleemcfarla~ Yum. Your smoothie recipe sounds like a good veggie soup!0 -
This morning-
banana
light soy milk
berry mix
protein powder
I am curious how it tastes with the greens mixed in- since I usually do green veggie juice OR a fruit smoothie the idea of combining them sounds a little weird:)
Thanks!0 -
~ashleemcfarla~ You'd really be surprised. Despite the unattractive green color (to some) green smoothies do taste good because you only taste the fruit (when you use mildly flavored greens) and get the benefit of the chlorophyll and many other vitamins and minerals they contain.
I also sometimes use green juice in my fruit smoothies, but the greens as the whole food gives me all the fiber too.0 -
