Green Smoothie…

Monday, March 9th, 2009

 

You can’t read about Raw Foodism with out stumbling on the Green Smoothie. I tends to be the staple of many a Raw Foodists diet. The general formula for a Green Smoothie is 60% fruit/ 40% green leafy vegetables. You put them all on the blender (or a Vita-Mix) and blend till smooth or close to smooth.

The Green Smoothie pictured above is:

2 Bananas ( 230 grams )

Frozen Mango ( 115 grams )

Baby Spinach ( 100 grams )

1.5 cups of water

I know the proportions are slightly off, but that’s the beauty of the Green Smoothie it can be adjusted to fit you pallet or dietary needs. This recipe made 2 pint glasses of smoothie which is about 288 calories.
