"EMERALD ECSTASY" GREEN SMOOTHIE



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:

Time 6m

Yield 8 oz. servings, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

  • 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! :-).
  • 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.
  • This is a "beginner" Green Smoothie that 98% of the population will love!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh fruits and vegetables are packed with nutrients, so they're the best choice for green smoothies. If you can't find fresh produce, frozen fruits and vegetables are a good alternative.
  • Start with a base of greens. Leafy greens like spinach, kale, and collard greens are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They're also a good source of fiber, which can help you feel full and satisfied.
  • Add fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables add sweetness, flavor, and nutrients to green smoothies. Choose fruits and vegetables that you enjoy the taste of, and experiment with different combinations to find your favorite recipes.
  • Use a variety of liquids. You can use water, juice, milk, or yogurt as the liquid base for your green smoothie. Water is the most calorie-free option, but juice, milk, and yogurt can add creaminess and flavor. Experiment with different liquids to find the one that you like best.
  • Add healthy fats. Healthy fats like avocado, nuts, and seeds can help you feel full and satisfied. They can also help your body absorb the nutrients from the other ingredients in your smoothie.
  • Add protein powder. Protein powder can help you boost the protein content of your green smoothie. This is especially important if you're using a vegan or vegetarian protein powder.
  • Sweeten your smoothie naturally. If you need to sweeten your smoothie, use natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. Avoid adding refined sugar, which is empty calories and can contribute to weight gain.

Conclusion:

Green smoothies are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day or refuel after a workout. They're packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. They're also a good source of healthy fats and protein. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a green smoothie that you'll love.
