I believe in getting as much green in my diet as possible without grazing like cow. Smoothies can reduce the equivalent of a salad to a refreshing beverage.
This yummy green smoothie recipe comes from Sarma Melngailis. Sarma is the author of two raw food “cook” books: Raw Food Real World: 100 Recipes to Get the Glow and Living Raw Food: Get the Glow With More Recipes from Pure Food and Wine.
Sarma’s Cilantro Shake:
Pink grapefruit (this is what really makes it tasty)
Cucumber
Cilantro
Lime
Pineapple
Agave nectar or stevia
Vanilla extract
Big pinch of cinnamon
Pinch of salt
In a blender throw in a pink peeled grapefruit, peeled cucumber, lots and lots of cilantro – about half a bunch, lime, some pineapple chunks, agave nectar or stevia, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt.
If you like a creamier smoothie, add avocado. If it tastes too green, add more fruit or stevia.
Smoothies are the best! This sounds lovely.
With many of my favorite ingredients, who can resist this tasty delight? We’re so glad you shared this healthy and delicious breakfast smoothie recipe on the Healthy, Happy, Green and Natural Party Blog Hop. I’m Pinning and sharing!
