- 1 cup liquid (I use water unless I suspect that the greens might be too greenish tasting then I use a milk substitute [soy milk, almond milk, or rice milk])
- Spinach - 3-6 cups - whatever tastes good to you
- Greens - work your way up -shoot for 3-5 large leaves of kale, chard, beet greens, or romaine
- Banana - this is a must have item. It provides creaminess and sweetness. Sometimes I add 2 bananas
- Apple- or some other fruit cantaloupe, pineapple, peaches, whatever you have handy.
- Flax seed - about 1 T per serving. just toss in the whole seed and let the blender grind it. This adds creamy texture too.
- Frozen fruit - about 1 cup unless you want it thicker (add more for thickness) I am partial to blueberries. Also try strawberries, and frozen fruit mixes. they should be sugar free
Be sure to link over to Robin's site for more awesome smoothies and her life changeover to vegan plus eating! I'll start with a smoothie, but I can't win my family over....what a pain to have to cook different meals for everyone....however I will try one smoothie at a time!
