Ever since we received a Blendtec blender, smoothies have become a regular part of our day. Sometimes it becomes a meal replacement on busy days, other times it’s the perfect snack in the afternoon to hold us over till dinner. The kids get to pick their color and we go from there.
Everyone started artfully arranging their ingredients. I just went straight to the blender.
Last week I attended a “Smoothie Summit” at Whole Foods Fresh Pond in Cambridge. A group of local Boston bloggers got together to share and test out some smoothie recipes. The results were amazing!
My drink of choice is one called the Green Machine. I love the balance in flavors I get when I blend spinach with fruits. When I have a smoothie without spinach, I often find it too sweet now.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup guava juice
- 1 cup Stonyfield Greek Yogurt
- 2 bananas
- 1 navel orange peel and cut into quarters
- 1 apple cut into quarters but not peeled
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 cup frozen mango
Instructions
- Add everything into a blender in the order above.
- Blend on smoothie setting until desired consistency.
- Serve immediately.
As our group of bloggers recipes come online, I’ll share them here as well. Thank you Whole Foods for hosting us, it was a wonderful experience to test out some healthy recipes. There were a lot of new ingredients tossed into those smoothies that may find their way into my kitchen too.
