Not-Green Green Smoothie
This smoothie is a smorgasbord of everything good for you and good tasting. While I love the health benefits of a green smoothie, I will admit that I don’t love the taste. This smoothie still has the green veggies, but the fruit and the dash of maple syrup really mask the taste of the kale and spinach.
- 1 banana
- ½ avocado
- 1/4 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- ¼ cup blueberries
- ¼ cup blackberries
- ¼ cup greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons sprouts (I used clover and alfalfa)
- 1 tablespoon flax seed
- 1 tablespoon chia seed
- 1 tablespoon steel cut oats
- ½ teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 cup kale
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy
My wife makes a smoothie pretty much every morning with greek yogurt, almond milk, blueberries, and mango. This looks like would be a great alternative to that. I like that you have the chia seed and flax seed in there. We just recently picked up some shelled hemp seed to put in the "power balls" that she makes to eat before exercising. With all of the other ingredients you don't even taste the hemp and flax seed in them.

Woe that has a ton of different fruits and vegetables. I like putting avacado in my smoothies but I've never tried putting in steel cut oats. I guess that's to give it texture?

I have not eighter, and I am a bit scared too. I mostly use frozen fruits, so I am afraid it will get too thick. What do you think?
I havent had a smoothie in a long time. I really should though. This looks quite good. I always heard that kale was too hearty of a vegetable for humans to digest properly unless its cooked. Not sure what your opinion is on that? Maybe blending it breaks it down enough?
