Quick! Green smoothie question

StrangeTraveller · 11-06-2008, 10:46 AM

What would collard greens mix well with?
What about coconut milk?

OK, I just braved it and tried about a cup of orange juice, one banana and two big collard green leaves without the stem thing. I can't taste the green at all! My blender had a hard time chopping it all up, but I think it has a more mild flavor than spinach, even, and it is oh-so-green.

Oh I'll have to try that one! I've used them before with some water, frozen strawberries and banana.

I did beet greens today and it was a lovely shade of red.

My normal smoothie every day is:

two handfuls of spinach
one handful of frozen cranberries
two bananas
juice of one lemon (tried putting the whole lemon in once, man, that was pucker power b/c of the rind)
4 figs (I have only tried this in the vita-mix but hummus dip says it doesn't work in regular blenders)
sometimes a handful of mango but if not, some honey or agave

I know you didn't ask for my smoothie recipe, I just felt compelled to share it

mmmmm....we have been playing with my vitamix ever since we got it (all three meals have used it. LOL) sooo, share away! I think we're brave enough to try anything now.
