Need a new easy, breezy, gluten-free, dairy-free, breakfast smoothie recipe?
My mom and dad have a super sweet neighbor, Alice, who is seriously into raw food. My dad, who is strictly a meat-and-potatoes-even-though-I've-had-a-heart-attack kind of guy, likes to tease Alice about her diet while wrinkling his nose at the same time.
One morning while I was visiting the rents, Alice stopped by with a pitcher of her favorite breakfast smoothie in hand to share with us.
To be totally honest, I did have my doubts about this. That green color? No, it's not kiwis-its spinach! Before you wrinkle your nose, I just want to let you know that my meat and potatoes dad actually liked it and is reportedly making it for breakfast every morning! Don't be put off by the pretty green color...you really can't taste the spinach. Just trust me on this one. Try it!
Surprisingly Delicious Green Smoothie Recipe
Add to blender:
1 banana
2 handfuls of fresh spinach
1 cup frozen mango pieces (I buy mine at Trader Joe's)
Enough water or almond milk to suit your preferred smoothie texture (I add about 1/2 a cup)
1 scoop rice protein powder (optional)
Blend until thoroughly mixed. Enjoy!
Thank you, Alice!
