During our most recent excursion to the local Saturday Morning Farmer's Market, we had the most amazing green smoothie!! It was delicious, energizing, and refreshing!! Yet, after we finished this delightfully thick taste filled smoothie, we felt as though we had enjoyed a light beverage! The next day we decided to create our own version of this green smoothie with our new VitaMix. WOW!! Our version of the green smoothie was even more energizing and deliciously thick with all the power packed nutrients from our organic foods we had purchased from the Farmer's Market. Inspired to create this green smoothie? Here are both recipes for you to create! Enjoy the taste of all the green goodness in this healthy tasty smoothie!!
Farmer's Market Green Smoothie
1 1/2 c of greens (kale or spinach or dandelion greens or a combination of both)
2 small apples (or 1 very large apple) add more apples if you would like it sweeter
2 stalks of celery
1 c of cucumber
1 very ripe avocado
1/2 cup of ice (or very cold water) If you like your smoothies to be VERY cold and with icy pieces add ice rather than cold water
Mix in a blender until well blended and smooth!
