This recipe was inspired by a recipe I found online while working out at the gym. Yes, I was working out and researching green smoothie recipes – the joys of technology – some of the machines now have Internet! This is fantastic, because now I don’t notice the brain-numbing TVs with IQ-reducing shows and music videos. As I mentioned the other day, I’ve been doing lots of searching and reading about green smoothie recipes, and I’ve found some great ideas at this website, incrediblesmoothies.com.
A little tart ... a little sweet ... and super satisfying!
Magenta Mystery
1 cup filtered water
1 small banana
1 cup blueberries, frozen
1 cup pitted dark cherries, frozen
2 scoops whey protein
2 cups chopped red cabbage
8-12 ice cubes, optional
Measure water into a large capacity blender, such as a Vitamix. Add the banana, blueberries, cherries, whey protein, and cabbage in the order listed. Start on low speed, then increase to high and blend until smooth and creamy. For a thicker smoothie add ice cubes and blend until smooth.
Makes enough for two large smoothies packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, protein, and fiber.
I am looking forward to getting some good cycling in again this weekend. Last weekend I got two great rides in for a total of 144 miles for the weekend. I’m hoping to do at least as much this weekend; the weather looks quite promising.
Have a terrific day … it’s FRIDAY!
