Over the past weekend I was working on some smoothie recipes that are made up of ingredients that will be available here in the Midwest all winter long, when seasonal fresh fruit cannot be found. I was happy to have found this "keeper" on my first attempt. I decide to call it the Summer Anytime Smoothie because all the ingredients should be in your favorite organic grocery store anytime of the year and because the first sip will instantly taste like sweet, sweet summer. One might characterize this as a "beginner's" green drink, but I think that might be a bit of a disservice to this refreshing, tasty treat. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 organic banana
5 oz. organic frozen mango
4 oz. organic almond milk
4 oz. filtered water
1 1/2 T organic shredded coconut
1 T lucuma powder (Incan super food - available where supplements are sold)
1 leaf organic kale
In a high speed blender or Vitamix, in the order above, blend the ingredients slowly up to high speed for 20-30 seconds. Be sure to have your tamper ready in case the kale is apprehensive of being shredded. Makes two servings, or as I prefer, one mega smoothie.
