Introduction/Recipe for Green Smoothie

in #introduction6 years ago

Hey Steemers, What's up in Steem world? So my name is Ben, and I'm the proud papa to young lady, and adopted father to a hairy slobbery baby bully. I could go on and on about how I am, but realistically I don't expect you to be that interested since we literally just met. So, instead, here is a recipe for the green smoothie that I made this morning.

Ingredients:
Blender full of Fresh Kale
Half Blender full of water
4 tblsp of Chia seeds
4 Tblsp of Hemp seeds
1 tsp of turmeric powder
1/2 tsp of Black pepper
1/2 cup frozen Blueberries
1/2 cup frozen Raspberries
1/2 cup frozen Strawberries

Directions: Start by filling your blender with Kale. You don't have to pack it down, just loosely place the kale in the blender until it's full. Then add the water until the water level meets the middle of the blender. It's not an exact science, but you can easily judge by the consistency of the final smoothie, and add to preference at the end. The water is necessary to help the concoction blend well. Then add the chia seeds, hemp seeds, turmeric powder, ad black pepper. The black pepper activates the turmeric which is a powerful anti-inflammatory. Although, it does add a spicy kick to the smoothie that kids might not go for, so lets call those two ingredients optional. Blend what you have so far until it is a beautiful bright green liquid. You'll notice here that the level of ingredients has lowered. This will make room for the frozen berries. You can let this sit for awhile if you want the chia seeds to start to take on that gelatinous gooey texture that they do. It's really not necessary though, but I think it adds to the recipe. Next add the berries. I use frozen because when you serve the smoothies they are nice and cold. Blend until its a good liquidic texture, and add water if its too thick. Then serve... It's phenomenal for breakfast, and most everyone I know loves them. Not to even mention the health benefits.

Have a great day. So nice to meet you.
