In it is a couple of handfuls of blueberries, a banana, a handful of baby spinach, a teaspoon of chia seeds, ice and milk which I blitzed for 30 seconds. It turned out like this -
It was a massive improvement on the first one I did and was heaps easier to drink although I could still taste the 'green' in it but I'm guessing you get used to it. I'm not sure I could do the ones with kale or the like in them.
Master 2 on the other hand loved it......Tee hee!
:)
tehehe. The one in Jo's Quirky Cooking blog is absolutely delish but more fattening as it pretty much makes "cashew milk"
ReplyDeleteBlueberry 'Yoghurt' Green Smoothie
Here's one I promised to share on my Facebook page - I love the way this tastes like it has yoghurt in it, but is completely dairy free! The secret is the creamy cashew or almond milk with lime and banana - so simple. The colour doesn't always look so good with creamy berry green smoothies, and I find you need to drink them quickly or they turn greyish - but they really do taste delicious. Just drink it up quickly before the colour changes. :) Here's the recipe:
- 100g raw cashews or blanched almonds
- 2 frozen bananas, quartered
- 100g frozen blueberries
- 1 lime, peeled
- 2 big handfuls of ice
- 1-2 big handfuls of cos lettuce or baby spinach
- 300g water
Grind up the dry nuts first for 10 seconds on speed 9. Then add remaining ingredients and blend on speed 10 for 2 minutes.

It's funny you should say that because I was looking at her Green Smoothies post yesterday after I wrote this post. She's so amazingly creative making up all these recipes. I'd love to try this one out. Thanks so much for posting it :)
