Well, really, we're all winners but I promised I would be giving away the book Green Smoothie Revolution to one lucky Green Smoothie Challenge participant and here I am to deliver. The winner is:
Congratulations Lisa! And congratulations to everyone that attempted the Challenge. They all deserve a great pat on the back.
As for me I have an additional report on the Green Smoothie Challenge - my acne was the clearest it's been in over 2 months just today. Horray! I think my outsides are getting caught up to my insides.
So it's been a little while since I posted any original Green Smoothie recipes and since we're talking shop today I thought what better time to share a couple of the ones that I came up this week.
The first was inspired by a recipe I found on Martha Stewart. She's hosting her own detox plan to kick off the year and I've been flipping through some of her recipes and other ideas. I was impressed to find a smoothie that included chard and a raw soup with kale. Sounds like Martha is catching up with the raw foods movement.
'It's A Good Thing'
- 1 Young Coconut, meat and water
- 3 Kale Leaves
- 1/2 Avocado
- 1 C Frozen Mango
Blend leaves and water. Add fruit and blend till smooth.
My other smoothie recipe is just a slight adjustment to one of the recipes in Green Smoothie Revolution. If there is one thing that can kind of get me down about raw foods is having to juice AND THEN blend. So instead of fresh pressed apple juice, I just changed it to an apple. Pretty simple and I'm sure just as tasty.
Summer Breeze
- 1 C Frozen Mango
- 1 C Water
- 1/2 C Frozen Strawberries
- 1/2 Bunch Fresh Mint
- 1/2 Apple
Blend greens and water. Add fruit until smooth.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Suzanne
