Green Smoothie With Picture: Day 5

February 5th, 2012 at 02:27 pm

In case you were wondering what a green smoothie might look like, I've added a picture. This is from today, which is very green because the orange didn't change it colors. The ones with raspberries tend to have a more brown color. I'll try to take a picture of that one tomorrow!



These generally taste very good if you have a sweet fruit in them that dominates. Raspberries and other berries do a great job. Today, mine is still sweet, but a bit more bitter, which I believe is actually the parsley I'm tasting.

Today's recipe was:

1c water
1c spinach
1/4 c parsley
1 orange (without peel)
1 banana (without peel)
1 TBS chia seeds

Total calories for about 24oz is 246.

Anyone ready to try a green smoothie yet?

    Looks good! Are you realizing any health benefits?

    Oh, I see, it's similar to the green smoothie Naked Juice makes. Which I like - not love, but definitely like! :-)

    rob62521 - I can't speak for creditcardfree of course, but when I drink soy/fruit/veg smoothies for breakfast they leave me feeling really good all morning. Blood sugar remains stable, brain seems to function on full power, and my energy output is great.

    I'm thinking about juicing today instead of smoothie but haven't made up my mind yet. Keep up the great work!
