I made a green smoothie with cabbage, carrot, apple, and romaine lettuce. The cabbage gave it a definite “bite”. Almost like a spicy-hot sensation. Does anyone know some way to minimize this? Thanks!
Pineapple seems to be the winner! I use one quarter of a Pina and the rest greens for me! Love it and very much addicted to it! ;) For my kids I add a couple bananas and flax seed to thicken it up and make it a little sweeter, etc.
I have found that bananas and apples are what do it for me. They seem to really bring a nice flavour to the smoothies. It probably is just a matter of experimentation to find what is best for you. I got good results recently by adding a bit of lemon juice to my smoothie and was very pleased.
I get one of those giant frozen bags of mixed blueberries/rasberries mixes from costco and throw about 3/4 of cup into it and my green smoothies, which make them turn purple, and it makes them taste like a fresh berry shake…...I have them everyday and sometimes twice a day.
my daily green smoothie:
half packed vitamix with green of choice – monster kale and spinach are 2 of my faves.
1 banana, usually mango or peaches. sometimes I will add strawberries or blueberries.
a little flax oil, ice and filtered water.
It makes a lot but I share it with my dog.
I used to put about a tablespoon of cocao nibs in it! Green and chocolatey…decadent.
But then I od’d on cocao and had to cut it out. : (
