GREEN SMOOTHIE !!

PHOTO TO FOLLOW ... WE ATE IT UP TOO FAST TO TAKE ANY PICS !!

The basic recipe is this ...

1 1/2 cups of liquid ( coconut milk, kefir, almond milk, POM juice, organic OJ or pineapple juice etc .... any liquid you choose ) I like to do 1/2 juice and 1/2 either kefir or coconut milk.

3 oz (weight not fluid) of green stuff ... chopped spinach & kale are the easiest to get kids to eat but you can use any greens ... romaine, mache, swiss chard, dandelion etc .... anything green !!)

Blend the liquid and the green stuff first ...

Then : fruit .... about 1 cup of fruit .... whatever you like !!
Strawberries , bananas, avocado is delicious in a smoothie (YUMMY) , blueberries, mango , pears, on and on and on !!

Freezing the fruit makes a ice cream kind of feel ... or room temp is fine too.

BOOSTERS :
Ground flax
protein powder (grass fed organic whey is the best ... but any kind is fine )
coconut oil
hemp seeds
ground almond powder
wheat grass shot
on and on and on !!

What we had today...
1 can coconut milk
1/2 avocado
1 banana
1/2 cup POM juice
1/2 cup organic OJ
1 cup blueberries
1 cup chopped Kale
2 tbs ground flax

Every child ate and loved the smoothie .... full of super foods !!

Happy snacking !
