Spring Green Smoothie

[Guest guest]

This morning I made a wonderful and extremely healthy spring green colored

Smoothie. It didn't cost much to make a whole 48 oz container full of this, for

the whole family. Here is what I put into it.

 

Spring Green Smoothie

 

1 cup of diced frozen mango chunks

1 c. diced pineapple chunks

1 c. Juicy Juice 100% Juice - Berry flavor

1 banana

2 c. crushed ice

1/2 c. water

2 Kale leaves

small handful of wheat grass

 

Put into a Vita Mix or blender and blend until smooth. A Vita Mix will make it

into a velvety smooth sorbet.

 

Sprinkle 2 - 3 T. of ground almonds over each glass full and stir into the

mixture. I love the chewiness the ground nut pieces give this, while I'm

eating it.

 

Almonds are a rich source of Vitamin E, containing 24 mg per 100 g. They are

also rich in monounsaturated fat, one of the two " good " fats responsible for

lowering LDL cholesterol.

Almonds are loaded with vitamin E, magnesium and potassium and are a good source

of manganese, copper and vitamin B2 (riboflavin). They are also high in fiber

and a small serving has more protein than an egg.

 

 

 

Walmart has chopped up frozen fruit, for not much money. They have a great

selection to make your smoothies with.
