We’re about two weeks into the new year and I already feel a lot better about myself than I did throughout most of 2012. I definitely feel infinitely more energetic than I did, even so much that I haven’t been drinking coffee most days. There really must be something to these green drinks.
My first box from Boston Organics came in on Tuesday and it was definitely more stuff than I expected. I still have a bunch of sweet potatoes I need to do something with. I will probably try roasting those tonight. I also go a few kiwis. My recipe today finally put them to use. This is one I found on a blog called Healthy Smoothie Headquarters.
I happen to have half a bag of frozen organic strawberries left and I had a banana that was looking mighty brown so this was perfect. There’s some mods you can do to this smoothie like add kale or yogurt. (obviously a non-dairy one if you’re following this blog) I chose to add a bunch of spinach because I usually keep a bag in my fridge at all times for salads and things. I’ll eventually try kale, I’ve just been warned that the flavor is more punchy and obvious than spinach. Overall, delicious and tangy. I actually like chewing on the kiwi seeds in this quite a bit. The prep time is a little slower on this guy than my previous smoothies because the kiwi needs to be peeled but otherwise a very easy one to set up.
