How to Make My Favorite Green Smoothie
09/17/09 Filed in: Smoothies
This is my favorite smoothie. (Mango was finally toppled.) It is a nutritional powerhouse and gives me a great boost. It is simple to make and even my husband likes it; a tough critic for anything that may remotely taste like grass! This is also a great use for Florida avocados which tend to hold more water than the more widely available Hass variety. Florida avocados are in season now and if you live in the area you probably have a friend with a loaded tree. I use an immersion blender for my smoothies because of easy cleanup, but you can use a blender.
Start with one banana.
Add a handful of baby spinach.
Add 1/2 of a Florida avocado or 1/2 of a Hass avocado.
Add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed and some agave syrup to taste. If your banana was very ripe you might not need any agave syrup.
Add soy milk (I use unsweeted soy), almond milk, or hemp milk till your container is 3/4 full. Add one cup if you are using a blender. Be careful not to over fill as your immersion blender will splatter if too close to the top of the glass.
Blend all ingredients until smooth.
Enjoy!
