recently i've tried to add more veggies to my smoothies. before i would always just add a massive handful of spinach (and i still do), but i've learned that i can sneak a few more veggies in there without anyone noticing--like carrots, broccoli, cucumbers and even beets!
i'm sure everyone's accustomed enough to making smoothies now that really all one needs are ingredient ideas and then you can play with the proportions to make the type of thing you like. below are a couple of actual recipes that seemed unlikely to be yummy, but which i actually ended up liking a lot. from mymagazine.
GREEN MACHINE SMOOTHIE (serves 2)
1/2 - 1 C chopped broccoli
1 kiwi, skin removed
1/3 cucumber, chopped
1/4 avocado
1/2 C frozen pineapple chunks
1 C orange juice (or other citrus juice)
1 t honey
maybe a couple frozen strawberries
1/5 of a brick of fresh tofu or 1/3 C plain greek yogurt
SUNRISE SMOOTHIE (serves 2)
1 cooked beet
1 C orange juice
1 banana
1 C frozen mango chunks
1/5 of a brick of fresh tofu or 1/3 C plain greek yogurt
maybe a handful of frozen pineapple chunks
