Day 10 Love Your Greens



This was the first time I have tried regular milk in the smoothie.  Before this greens challenge I had never had a green smoothie.  I don't think I ever would have considered having one before this.  But things change and you grow and learn.  It has been fun retraining my taste buds and really challenging my narrow minded views on food. 

So the original recipe called for chia gel but I failed to get that, but besides that pretty much stuck to the recipe.  We mixed whole milk and water (2 cups), spinach and kale, 2 cups frozen blueberries, and a tsp of vanilla (and you count to 4 and you never get your filla! smoothies so sweet and taste, smoothies don't be too haste! smoothies! smoothies! smoothies! smoothies!)  Sorry!  I couldn't resist the My Little Ponies plug.  Any way... to quote Hermione, "It tastes like a healthy vanilla milkshake!"  She was right.  We also had to doctor this one up a bit.  It was pretty sour when we first poured it so we added a bit of honey.  That perked it right up.
