While traveling on the road blender access has been limited and I have been missing my smoothies. Does this happen to anyone else? If only my blender came with a car adapter...wishful thinking. But now we've reached sunny (and HOT!) California and have acquired a blender. It seems to have a mind of its own though, and will randomly send the top flying spraying the kitchen with beautiful smoothie creations! Yikes! But how wonderful to be able to make smoothies to combat the California heat.
In the search for the perfect smoothies sometimes you end up with completely unexpected flavors. In this case spinach, lemon, and banana created a refreshing smoothie with an interesting hint of bubblegum flavor. It sounds a little disgusting I know, and at first I wasn't even sure it was something I wanted to keep drinking as I despise the flavor of bubblegum. But after the initial surprise it turned out to be a perfectly refreshing drink to accompany breakfast! Plus if you have kids it's a great way to sneak greens into their diet.
Unexpectedly Refreshing Bubblegum Green Smoothie
- 10oz of Organic Soy Milk (or more if your blender needs extra liquid to process)
- 1/2 Frozen Banana
- 1/4 Lemon, including peel
- 1 cup Frozen Pineapple
- Handful of Spinach
- Chia Seeds
Put all ingredients into a blender, mix well, and enjoy! Add ice to the mix if you desire. Yours may or may not be as green as mine depending on how much spinach you decide to include.
Don't forget to keep your smoothie plastic free! I'm a big fan of mason jars and my Glass Dharma straw.
