The Unnamed Smoothie
Follow
Interesting ...
My ride was cancelled for wind this morning. It’s looking more like a trip to the gym and a nice walk later.
That didn’t stop me from a healthy start to the day. This smoothie may be a bit of an adventure for some, but it’s worth a try. I haven’t yet settled on a name yet, so for now…
Unnamed Smoothie
1 cup filtered water
2 scoops whey protein powder
1 fresh peach, pitted and quartered
1 fresh kiwi, peeled and quartered
2 cups honeydew (about 1-inch chunks)
1 big handful baby kale
1 cup red cabbage (about 1-inch chunks)
3/4 cup frozen pineapple chunks
8-12 ice cubes
Measure water into a large capacity blender, such as a Vitamix. Add ingredients 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.
If you’re new to the vegetable-fruit smoothie experience and like a sweeter smoothie, you might want to substitute apple or pineapple juice for the water, or add a little honey or agave syrup.
Speaking of sweetness … later today I’ll be doing a bit of baking to send some goodies to Ohio: brownies, banana bread, and oatmeal cookies. I’ll post pictures.
