I know green smoothies sound and look nasty, but once you get over the thought of drinking green veggies, you will love them. I even crave them! Below is one of my favorite green smoothie recipes. I started out with a recipe from "Eating For Energy" by Yuri Elkaim (great book!), but altered it a bit.
Green Monkey Smoothie
Serves 1
1 banana
1 large handful fresh spinach
1 large handful fresh kale
1 small handful fresh parsley leaves
A few fresh mint leaves
1 Tbsp ground flax seed
1 Tbsp ground sesame seed
Honey or agave nectar
1-2 cups Water and/or soy or nut milk (I use half soy, half water)
Blend and enjoy!
P.S. - had to include one of my favorite kitchen appliances in the photo... Vita-Mix! I highly recommend investing in one. They are worth it.
I cannot wait until I can come home and make smoothies again. They are really not typical here AT ALL. I don't even think the family I am with has a blender... =(
