Today for my lunch, I made a 'green' smoothie. I had a little extra, so I thought I would make it into a Popsicle and see who would be brave enough to eat it! Savannah was the one!! She loved it!!!
Every morning we all drink a 'green shake' that's made with cucumbers, avocados, limes and spinach. The kids all love it and drink it down without any hesitation. I thought I would step it up and make a
really green shake for me for lunch......wow, it was GREEN!!!
I used 2 limes, a cucumber, avocado, one gigantic Collard Green leaf (they are huge! I had no idea!) and about 4 Kale leaves (which are surprisingly large as well!).
I still need to figure out that mixture because I couldn't get it to go smooth, no matter how long I ran it in my Vita-Mix. It had a very green smell but thankfully the limes did their job! The hard part was it was like drinking oatmeal! A little chunky......

hey tari - you need a juicer. we've done a bit of juicing and smoothie stuff. we have a vitamix and just bought a breville juicer over the summer. things like avocado won't juice, but cucumber, celery, kale, spinach, carrot etc. all juice up pretty well - juice them up first and then add them to your non-juicing fruits and vegs in the vitamix - it makes for a much smoother smoothie. apple and celery juice in really good. so is apple and watermelon. it's alot of fun - lots of hit and miss! :)
Thank you so much!!!! Of course, why didn't I think of that??? I used to have a juicer....years ago. That will be sooo much better for the consistency! :)
