Raw Recipe -- Citrus Green Smoothie
I just came up with this recipe in my kitchen and it's sooooooooo creamy and yummy. I just had to share!
Usually I use my favorite green smoothie formula over and over (with little variations), but tonight I decided to break out of that mold a bit and see how it would go. I took a cooking creations risk and thankfully, it paid off!
Here's what I threw in my blender:
2 tangerines (peeled)
1/4 c. water
1 frozen banana (I'm sure you could use fresh, but frozen made it seem ice-creamy)
1 c. frozen strawberries (I'm guessing on the amount, it may be 1 1/2 c.)
3 handfuls of spinach
2 large chard leaves, broken off the stalk into smaller pieces
I tried it first w/o the water and it just wouldn't blend the frozen stuff. So I added the water after the strawberries to get it to blend. Worked like a charm!
This filled one 8 oz. glass and one much larger (which I froze for tomorrow). Oh, it was dreamy yummy!
