Have
you heard of the green smoothie craze? It seems every website or TV show has
someone whirling spinach in a blender with a variety of other items. All of
them promise better health and glowing skin. They also claim the taste is “good or "refreshing."
I’m on this heart-healthy kick so I thought, “Why not?”
My
first effort was Kimberly Snyder’s Glowing Green Smoothie. It was not, in my
opinion, very “good” or very “refreshing.” I thought I might start whinnying,
that’s how grassy it tasted.
But
undaunted I decided to make up my own with things I enjoy. And guess what? I
LIKED it. My green smoothie actually tasted good, at least to me ,and I did not
whinny once. I also forgot to take a picture. Dagnabit! But it was-brace yourself for the surprise--GREEN.
Linda’s Green Smoothie
3 big handfuls
of spinach or mixed greens
¾ cup
green grapes
1
small granny smith apple
1
stalk celery
1 cup
of cold water
3-4
ice cubes.
Throw
it everything except the ice in a blender and blend the fool out of it. Toss in the ice cubes and blend some more, until it looks Incredible Hulk green and smoothie-ish.
