GREEN Smoothie

HEY!  Someone stole my green smoothie!!!

This one turned out REALLY REALLY green. 

And REALLY REALLY yummy!!!

If you must... just look away while you drink it.  Cari doesn't mind.  Hannah wouldn't come near it.  You could blindfold yourself.  Whatever it takes to drink this yumminess.  This tastes like lime sherbert!  If you like lemon/lime tastes... you will LOVE this smoothie.

Ingredients:

1 cup of white grapes (or white grape juice)

3 mint leaves (fresh mint is best)

Lime zest

 (cut off the side of the lime about a half dollar coin size piece and just throw it in the blender)

1/2 banana

1/2 cup of frozen peaches

1/2 cup of frozen mango

2 cups of kale

4 pitted dates

1 cup of ice

A few helpful tips when making smoothies:

If you place these ingredients in the order listed into your blender, it will work better. 

 The more 'liquidy' things go in first. 

A 'smoothie' type blender with a tamper works best. 

You can shove the fruit and veggies down into the blade to make sure everything gets ground up good.

You can add SUPER cold water instead of ice.

You do not have to remove the seeds from your fruit.

(Seeds have vitamins too).

I do remove pits.... they tend to be very hard and tough on your blender blades.
