kid friendly "green" smoothie recipe:
1 lg. handful spinach
2 lg. handfuls green and purple cabbage
1 navel orange with pith* still on, rind removed
1/2 C frozen strawberries
4-6 ice cubes
2 C pure water
blend for 60 sec. using your JTC OmniBlend V blender.
(I add DHA omega oil and pro biotics to my smoothies...for added health benefits). Our kids really enjoy this smoothie. I have also had a few friends reluctantly try it, and been very surprised with how mild the flavour of the spinach and cabbage are in a smoothie. You can always add 1 Cup of juice to give it extra sweetness and flavour (orange or cranberry are some ideas).
*The term pith is also used to refer to the pale, spongy inner layer of the rind - more properly called mesocarp or albedo - of citrus fruits (such as oranges) and other hesperidia. (from Wikipedia)
Enjoy!
