Spanner's Green Smoothie
« on: July 13, 2009, 02:14:35 am »
Another Green Smoothie recipe from Spanner


Our recipe is :

Large bunch of greens. We usually have a mixture of: Comfrey leaves, hibiscus spinach, green spinach , Guatemalan spinach, a little bit of lettuce ( too watery if used alone), 3 -4 beetroot leaves, Kang Kong, Or what ever greens we have left over from dinner preparations. WARNING: don't use bokchoy or similar unless you like a mustardy taste.
1/2 cup blue berries
Small hand full of fresh mint leaves
2-3 sugar bananas ( this is a MUST)
1 large table spoon of organic honey
1 teaspoon of Barley Grass
1/2 lemon ( juice and pulp only)
1/2 cup Macadamia nuts ( we buy in bulk over the internet and it is actually cheaper than buying Almonds)
1/8th cup of Goji Berries
and any other fruit like apples or what ever we have laying about
And COLD water to make it the consistency you like


Blend the back side out of it and ***voila*** you have an amazingly tasty and nutritious breakfast meal that keeps me really satisfied until about 11.00 when I then have a mid morning smoothie snack of:

Can I suggest this thread?  There must be lots of experienced healthy food shoppers lurking in this forum who wouldn't mind sharing where is good for prices etc.  I was thinking we could keep these little tips together.

I don't think we've heard back from Spanner.  He must have disappeared again.
