Yay! I’ve done it! I’ve finally made and tried a green smoothie. And guess what? It is delicious!
I know what you’re going to say. It looks gross and you wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole. I would’ve said the same thing if I weren’t so determined to FINALLY try a green smoothie. After months of thinking about it, trying to find some alternative gluten free breakfasts, I finally did it. Eureka!
Here’s the thing. Ya’ just gotta get past the color. Blindfold yourself if you have to. I promise, I swear, it’s delicious.

Totally picturing someone with a blindfold and a clothepin on the nose…LOL Actually, it sounds very good.
Hi Sheri,
It IS good! I had one again this morning – they are almost addicting. But the color is pretty gross, for a smoothie:).

I’m always up for new smoothie recipes (to get down all my supplements with). Can’t wait to try this! Great pic too!
Wow, that’s something new for me!! might actually go fro trying it in a couple of days! sounds and looks interesting enough:)
Ellen- Sounds healthful and delicious- just added it to today’s smoothie post! xoxo
The best way to have a green smoothie that looks yuckie is in a drink bottle – drink it while on the computer and just ignore it till its gone…
I bought a Blendtec a year ago and have made green smoothies for breakfast everyday for the past year. I generally use:
1/2 apple
1/2 pear
2" cucumber
1/2 stalk of celery
few green grapes
1/2 banana
handful of spinach or kale
3 ice cubes
4oz water
Sometimes I add pineapple, or strawberries or blueberries. The latter 2 will turn the smoothie brown like the one you pictured.
I've converted many friends, because they taste so delicious.
Hi Warm n Wonderful,
Your smoothie sounds like a winner! Thanks for stopping by!
Ellen
I LOVE green smoothies!

Mango is my favo combo with spinach!
