12 Great Tasting Green Smoothie Recipes!
Posted by Eleni Prokopeas on Dec.14, 2008
Have you had a green smoothie yet? Here are a few recipes I have collected and tried through the years to get you started.
By experimenting with different combinations, you will be able to come up with something that you and the whole family will love. You’ll even have an easier time getting your children on board to adopting a healthier diet.
Morning Smoothie collards spring greens raw cacao nibs frozen blueberries apple maca scoop of hemp protein
Kale and Spinach mix
I mix Kale or Spinach with blueberries. Kale or Spinach with melons, Kale or
Spinach with kiwi and grapes and fresh squeezed orange juice.
I also had kale with melon, pineapple, grapes, peaches, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and raspberries. Divine!
Spinach-Mango
1 handful of fresh organic spinach
1 stalk celery (Optional)
1 or 2 sweet yellow filipino mangos
enough water to blend into a smooth smoothy! Yummy!
Try adding some herbs, too! I LOVE parsley–it’s so healthy and cleansing. So yesterday’s smoothie had spinach, kale, arugula, parsley, and basil. I added three very small peaches, the juice of half a lime, and a banana. It was really yummy!

Absolutely love it! My 11 yo dd makes smoothies all the time. I just used it after cooking apples in the crockpot, I put the apples in the mixer, blended it to make my apple butter. Then I used it to slightly blend for applesauce. I use it every morning for my morning shake to drink to work. I leave for work at 430 am and rarely get a morning break until about 730-800 so I put in yogurt, 1 scoop of protein powder, a handful of frozen berries, 4 ice cubes, some water & drink it on the drive to work. Sometimes I skip the yogurt and berries, use coffee and more ice and a splash of milk. it is the one countertop appliance i leave out (other than my Cuisinart coffee maker)

I have a vita-mix machine and use it often. I have the added container for grinding grain. I have made my own flour for my home made breads. I have made many of the recipes that came with the machine and have found them to be really good. It really is more than a blender. I am really glad that I purchased it and look forward to using it for many years.

I've thought about getting the grain mill. Does it really work well? Can you grind flour to a bread or cake flour consistency?
It's an expensive addition and I really want to find out how it works for people before plunking down the money for it.
How much do you grind at one time?
How long does it take?
Can you tell if it's wearing the machine down to do that much grinding??

Thanks for your answers.
