Green smoothies



In addition to juicing, I have started to make "green smoothies" everyday as a meal replacement for either breakfast or lunch. I use 2 or 3 whole, fresh fruits (mostly bananas, oranges, pears, apples, blueberries), then I add 2 large handfuls of leafy greens (like spinach, romaine, swiss chard) and lastly, I add 1 cup of frozen fruit (such as strawberries, mangoes, pineapple, peaches) and blend it up. Oh, and I add a scoop of protein powder and a cup of water too! So delicious and nutritious and very filling!!!

Yum, that looks delicious. I'm a smoothie maker but have never tried greens, gonna give it a try now.

I don't doubt that it's healthy, but I have to say that it looks much more appetizing before you hit the "blend" button. :)

I'll have to try that too. Sounds very healthy!
