This smoothie exemplifies one of my favorite aspects of smoothies. Creating an absolutely delicious drink containing a number of healthy ingredients that you wouldn’t normally consume individually, unless you like to gag :)
Turmeric is a “super spice” in my book, with health benefits that are vast and various. While I’ve been cooking with it for years, I just recently started adding it into my smoothies, with much success.
Here’s why “hiding” a little turmeric in your smoothies is such a great idea.
While picking up produce at my local food co-op yesterday I noticed something out of the ordinary on the extras table – a dozen or so young Thai coconuts. It was a first for the co-op and a treat I hadn’t had in a while; so naturally I grabbed one.
I got a big bunch of cilantro from my local food co-op this week and have been using it liberally in my salads, omelets, and of course smoothies. A small green leafy herb that’s often used to garnish, don’t take cilantro lightly, it packs a hefty nutritional punch.
Yes, this smoothie does taste as good as its name would lead you to believe. Avocado, mango, and lime make a divine combination.
Lettuce isn’t only for making salads, you can use it in your green smoothies as well. It’s low in calories, tastes good, and is easy to blend. A little pineapple, mango, banana, and romaine lettuce make for one delicious smoothie.
