Green Smoothies

First thing this morning we made some more green smoothies and drank them on the porch. I don’t think I ever make them the same way twice—Are you like that too with smoothies? I just can’t stop playing around with the ingredients and proportions =)
Green Smoothies
2 cups packed fresh washed spinach
1 inch fresh peeled ginger
2 tbsp lemon juice
4 tbsp Hemp Seeds (a great source of protein and essential fatty acids)
3 stalks of celery
2 big apples, cores removed
1/2 cup water
After I pureed that in the blender I added another handful of spinach, and tasted it to see if I wanted to add more ginger or lemon, which I did.
Then I poured one for Ashley before adding some cayenne to mine, although Ashley’s been known to drink my spicy green smoothies before 😉
I’m afraid Zoe did not have one of these. Once in a while she will, but mostly she wont. She is however the biggest salad eater in the house, aside from me 😉 Since she was a toddler she’s earned the pet name, “the salad queen,” a title she is very proud of.
Lots a ♥, Kelly
Another photo of the flowers on the table—I can’t stop taking pictures of them—I’m obsessed =)

  1. The recipe for the green smoothie you made looks so yummy! I haven’t tried the hemp seeds yet. I’m trying to convince my dear, sweet husband that they aren’t related to the drug in any way. 😉
    I, too, love to experiment with the ingredients in my green smoothies. My newest additions are raw cacao and Amazing Grass’s Super Green Food powder. Next up….maca and chia seeds (haven’t tried either yet)

  2. Sounds yummy.. wanted to let you know of a new store I found on Main street called “Simply Bulk”. Nothing but bulk food items, flours, grains, nuts, etc. If you didn’t know about it, you might want to check it out.

  4. Thanks Kelly!

    Thanks James! I’ve been meaning to go. How was it?

    Thanks Healthy Exposures! I *love* green smoothies—I bet you would enjoy this one—I think it was my best yet =)

  7. You must have read my mind. I just made a green smoothie this morning, and am filming a video for my blog on how I make mine. I really like your idea about ginger! What a great way to wake up. I think I will add that in my next batch.
