Yes, Friday Food is a bit late this week. What can I say? I have a family and home that come first. But I’ve been wanting to share more living food recipes with you. Take you beyond just grabbing a piece of fresh fruit, or veggie sticks, or tossing a salad.
Here is a quick delicious, living food recipe that can be varied in a myriad of ways. I won’t say this is my absolute favorite variation. I don’t know that I’ve found that yet. But this is certainly A favorite, and super simple.
Smoothies are a great way to get the needed quantity of greens in your diet when you just can’t eat any more salad. AND they don’t really taste like greens. Your fruit disguises them. Therefore they’re a great way to get greens into your children that you haven’t raised on greens, so they think they don’t like them.
Good for You-Naturally!™ Smoothie
2-3 organic oranges (juice them)
1 huge handful of organic spinach (I use baby spinach)
1 banana (organic if you can find them) – ripe or frozen
Pour your juice into your high powdered blender. Add your spinach. It should nearly fill your blender. Blend until smooth. Add your banana and again blend until smooth. (In my Bosch, I like adding my banana after my greens are smooth, especially if my banana is frozen and I want it to add a frozen “shake” like consistency. You don’t have to do this in the Blendtec or Vitamix.)
See? Super simple. Super delish. Super Good for You-Naturally!™
Have a Blendtec or VitaMix? Great. It’ll take no time at all. Have a Bosch Kitchen Center? It’ll blend it right up. Have just a standard blender? It’ll work. Just may take a bit longer.
Mmm!
