As some of you may have noticed on Facebook, I have started experimenting with "green" Smoothies. This simply means that I have been adding some extra green, leafy vegetable to my drink for the added health benefit. Many people might shy away from the idea, and I completely understand why. Green drinks look like they should taste nasty, plain and simple. However, I'm happy to say that there is literally no change to the taste, just a delightful change to your insides. A friend of mine introduced me to a website that highlights the basics of a green drink, and since then I have been trying to find the perfect combination. The apple pie smoothie is one that I created, so drink up and enjoy!
Ingredients:
-1 apple of your choice
-1 bunch of greens (kale, spinach, or Swiss chard)
-1 cup milk (any kind... I used almond)
-ice
-cinnamon to taste (I probably used just under a tsp)
Directions :
Cut the apple into wedges and cook in the microwave to soften (about 3-4 min). You can peel it if you desire. Then blend it all together. Get creative... I added some raw oatmeal to it as well. You can also add some sort of sweetener if you desire.
Drink up and get healthy :)
Love,
Ashleigh
P.s. don't knock it unless you've tried it. I love Jake's motto: "Try something three times and then decide if you like it or not. "
