Strawberry Lemonade Green Smoothie
7 leaves purple kale
4 dates (for sweetening)
About 8 frozen strawberries (I only had frozen. Use fresh if you have 'em)
about 1 1/2 cups almond-barley milk (can use whatever milk you like)
1 1/4 inch slice lemon, with peel
1 tbsp flax seeds
about 1/2 cup water if you need it to help things blend (mine was turning into ice cream, because everything was frozen, including my kale - need to get to the market!)
Blend all ingredients, going gradually from low to high setting on your blender.
Next time I think I'll add parsley and see how it goes.
I invented this one the other day. If you like pina coladas, you may or may not like this :-). It was a terrible colour, but I thought it tasted pretty pina colada-y. NOT low fat!
If You like Pina Coladas Green Smoothie
4 or 5 leaves purple kale
Small handful of rapini (you can also omit this and just use 7 or so kale leaves)
About 1 cup diced fresh pineapple OR a combination of pineapple and mango
1/2 cup coconut milk (or 1 tbsp coconut oil + add an extra 1/2 cup of your other milk)
about 1 cup almond-macadamia milk, or other milk
1 tsp natural coconut extract (optional, for extra coconut flavour)
Blend all ingredients, going gradually from low to high setting on your blender.
Note: If you're having trouble getting used to the "green" taste of green smoothies, use fewer greens to start out - say, use 3 kale leaves instead of six - and work your way up.
