Not everyone likes vegetables. While as a vegetarian this can be a difficult concept for me to grasp, I understand (perhaps because my husband is one of the pickiest eaters I know!). Smoothies are a great way to "sneak" in some healthy greens on a daily basis.
Tracy Russell's website has been a fantastic resource for smoothie recipes and easy-to-find facts about nutrient-rich (and tasty!) fruits and vegetables. Her recipes are sorted by ingredient, allowing you to search for combinations that you already have in your fridge. Russell also includes variations for more "brave" and "experienced" smoothie consumers, throwing in dandelion greens, kale, spinach, or parsley whenever possible. We like to add a boost of protein to our smoothies by throwing in a tablespoon of whey powder.
Don't be fooled by the colors. These smoothies taste just like fruit-flavored deserts (and they make a great breakfast on-the-run)!
What do/would you put in your smoothie?
