kid friendly "green" smoothie


ready to blend


ready to drink!


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!
