I have gotten into making green smoothies because I realized that I was not getting enough greenery in my diet. My current favorite combination is:
1/2 cup of kale, 1/2 cup of dandelion greens, 1/2 pear, 1/2 banana, 1 cup OJ, 1 teaspoon flax seed meal, ice cubes
What about you? What combination has the right taste and nutritive value? :happy:

I would like to see some recipes too. Also, when I make a smoothie with kale I still have little pieces of kale in it. Should I blend it longer or is there some other trick?0

This makes 2 servings:
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 banana
2 peeled kiwis
1 cup cooked spinach, cooled
1 tbsp ground flax seed
1 cup milk (I use 1/2 almond and 1/2 skim)
ice cubes0 -
Vitmina, de-stemming the kale might help ....and just blend the heck out of it on high. Add some ice cubes if your blender starts warming up. : )0

I do a mean green juice--
1 head of romaine
1 bunch of kale
1 bunch of flat leaf parsley
4 big stalks of celery
3 handfuls of spinach
2 green apples
3 lemons
1 sprig of fresh ginger
All through my juicer, and then strain it through a nut milk bag just to be sure of no pulp. Usually I drink this in about two days, I typically split it three ways and make sure I've used it before the 3rd day!0 -
I have an extractor (not blender) and like this combo: lots of kale, 2 carrots, half a granny smith apple, celery, parsley and a tbsp of spirulina0
-
1 to 1 and a half banannas.
1 cup or so of strawberry's.
a little bit of pineapple, mango, or peach. either or.
and a LOT of spinach or spinach leaves...
it looks gross but it tastes wonderful!0 -
For my basic green smoothie I fill the blender half full of either lacinato kale or spinach then add the juice of 1 or 2 oranges and lemon or lime if I have some. Blend well and add:
1-2 bananas
1-2 apples
a handful of frozen berries or peaches
a scoop of barley or wheat grass powder
Sometimes I'll add a stalk of celery or some fresh parsley or cilantro too. It really just depends on what I've got on hand.0 -
1/2 pear
1/2 banana
1/2 cup fresh mango
2 cups kale

2c. spinach
1c. frozen blueberries
2c. frozen strawberries
1-2 bananas
1c. ff milk
1c. yogurt
