it’s been a while since i wrote a vitamix post!! green smoothies are always fun, and this is fitting for the holiday. this week i decided to do a short cleanse. partially in honour of the moon, partially in honour of the upcoming solstice, and partially because i have been eating donuts almost every day for breakfast for about 2 months… not even kidding. *ahem* anyway, i was super excited to bust out my vitamix again!
st. patrick’s day “green” vitamix smoothie – approximate ingredients :
– frozen pineapple chunks {1/4 cup}
– 2 frozen strawberries
– 1 pitted date
– dried mango {small handful}
– organic spinach {heaping handful}
– coconut milk {1/2 cup}
– orange juice {1/2 cup}
blend on high until smooth…
i prefer to use spinach in my “green” smoothies… the flavour blends in so well and the colour is outstanding! perfect for celebrating the luck of the irish!
the date adds a hint of sweetness. it’s one delicious smoothie – for any holiday, or day of the week! 😀
drink the rainbow! {maybe you’ll find a pot of gold at the end! 😉}
