I don’t know about you, but I’m HOT! I don’t feel like doing anything, cooking anything, or even eating anything thanks to the near 100 degree temperatures here in PA. Thankfully, I have a blender and some fresh fruits and veggies, so I decided to drink my lunch!
Ingredients in the blender
Tropical Green Smoothie
Makes 1 extra large smoothie or 2 medium smoothies
Ingredients:
1 banana
1 large kale leaf
1/2 ripe mango
2 rings of fresh pineapple
4 frozen strawberries
1-2 TB ground flaxseeds
1/2-1 cup water
Directions:
1. Place all of the solid ingredients in the blender, waiting until the end to add the water. If you like your smoothies thicker, add less. If you like them a bit runnier, add more water. Blend, and enjoy!
You can always use fresh strawberries instead of frozen and just add a couple of ice cubes in to make it colder – I just happened to have some sitting in the freezer. This smoothie has a wonderful tropical taste with a great green color! Plus, you have a serving of veggies and numerous servings of fruit all in one chilled glass! If you are looking to beat the heat in a healthy way, give this tasty smoothie a try!
