We regularly call ‘em green smoothies, but the color varies from bright to dark green with all colors in between … including mud, lol! But don’t let the color put you off! As Kelley at MountainMamaCooks says, you wouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover so don’t judge a smoothie by it’s color. It’s the taste and the goodness in the ingredients that matter. I mean, chocolate is mud colored and we eat it, right?
Here’s what Kelley has to say about her smoothie recipe (which you’ll find at the end of the post) …
This is definitely on the sweeter side thanks to a ripe banana and half an apple. But it’s balanced nicely with freshly ground almond butter, organic cacao powder and fresh spinach. You could use whatever milk you like but I’m partial to Califia Farms Vanilla Almond milk.
