1. Green Smoothie of the Day: Chocolate Banana Strawberry Pineapple (Etc.)

Chocolate Banana Strawberry Pineapple (Etc.) Green Smoothie

Chocolate Banana Strawberry Pineapple (Etc.) Green Smoothie

Here’s today’s experiment:

  • 1 handful sprouts
  • 2 large Swiss chard leaves
  • 3 dates
  • 4 frozen strawberries
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 3 frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 heaping Tablespoon peanut butter
  • 2 heaping teaspoons cacao
  • About 1 cup water (up to the Nutribullet fill line)

Taste review: Looks like a chocolate smoothie, tastes a little more gardeny than that. I started with just half a banana and no dates, and it wasn’t sweet enough. I think I could have gotten by with just one teaspoon of cacao. I’m kind of sick of the taste of dates. Will be looking for other ways to sweeten. But overall, not bad! And very, very filling.

Health review: After just a few days of one green smoothie a day, my skin already looks so much better–healthy and clear in a way it hasn’t for months. And my digestion: wow. I won’t go into detail, but let’s just say it’s meeting my need for spring cleaning.

The key, though, is these smoothies have to taste good. This is a voluntary activity and if it’s not fun I won’t do it. Which is why I’m experimenting with flavors. And why I’m reporting to you about those experiments, so that if you’re in the green smoothie mood, you can do it in an enjoyable, non-punishing way. Because we’re against punishment here on the blog.

Carry on, Greenies!
