| much prettier than my first green smoothie |
Ninety nine percent of the people who know me know my favorite food is a chocolate malt. So when I first heard of green smoothies I said, Nope. Can't do this. But I had two bags of fresh baby spinach in my fridge and was packing to go out of town for a long weekend. Had to use up the spinach. I put it in the blender with frozen strawberries and blueberries, some flax meal and a little water. The blueberries must have made it darker because my smoothie was NOT the pretty green you see above. It was decidedly brown. In fact it looked so chocolately I added some cocoa powder. Then of course it was a tad bitter so I added a little honey. Maybe I reduced the nutrient density of my breakfast with the added honey but what about the antioxidants in the cocoa (fat and sugar free!). Most importantly, it tasted great!
