I know, I know: it's the middle of winter (at least around here!) and probably not prime time for making ice-cold drinks. Still, I couldn't help but share this tasty smoothie recipe with you guys.


If you don't have a juicer but still want to get some great nutrients in a green drink, this is the smoothie for you. Cuddle up with some knit socks and try one :)


Green Smoothie
Ingredients:
  • Large handful fresh spinach
  • 1-2 bananas
  • 4-5 ice cubes
  • A spoonful of almond (or other nut) butter
  • 1/2 c vanilla yogurt
  • 1/2 cup berries (or a pomegranate popsicle leftover from your freezer)
  • 2 Tbsp hemp seed
  • Drizzle of maple syrup
  • 1-2 cups Rice Dream rice milk (or other milk)
Blend well! I recommend putting the frozen ingredients on the bottom first.



I almost didn't add the yogurt (and you could certainly go without it if you wanted to be dairy-free here), but I threw it in at the last minute. I like creamy smoothies, and I couldn't resist :)

Note: you could also eliminate the nut butter if you wanted a more fruity taste. Be creative: there are lots of ways to do a great green smoothie!




Delicious!
