This is the delicious Green Smoothie recipe that I make and serve at my Vita-Mix sales demonstrations. It always wows the crowd when something that is so bright green tastes so surprisingly delicious! It is designed for a Vita-Mix so I don't know how it would work in any other kitchen appliance. Add ingredients into the 64 oz. container in the following order: Ingredients:
2 -3 cups green grapes (with seeds is healthier) |
1 large banana (skin removed) |
1/4 of a large fresh pineapple (leave the center in, it has most of the bromelain) or 1/3 of a small fresh pineapple (leave the center in, it has most of the bromelain) |
1/2 apple (seeds and stem is o.k. if using a vita-mix) |
2 -3 cups fresh spinach |
2 -2 1/2 cups ice, to the top of the container |
Directions:
1. Turn the machine quickly from variable speed 1 to 10 then flip the switch to high. Push the ingredients down into the blades until the entire mixture is blending. I find it easier to push the food continuously down one corner of the container and eventually it begins to blend. The apple may require a bit of pounding before it begins to mix (this is a great anger management recipe! :-).
2. When the mixture is first blending it should be so thick and slushy (from the ice) that it is thick like a thick slushy . If it is too liquid at the beginning, add more ice so it is thick and slushy . This allows you to blend for 1-2 minutes without warming the drink up from the friction of the blades. It also allows you to break the foods down to the most bioavailable (cellular) level.
3. This is a beginner Green Smoothie that 98% of the population will love!
