Rage against the green – Smoothie recipe
Strawberry Beet Green Smoothie
Sometimes green smoothies are not green!
I made this baby today and it was more than fabulous. The color was so vibrant I almost needed to put on my sunglasses. I don’t know how the color will render on your computer screen. It was the color of Pepto-Bismol in real life. Not that you need Pepto (honey, if your body needs to eliminate, let it eliminate whatever toxin it has to get rid of!). The color was so intense, that it reminded me of Rage Against the Machine. Hence the name. Plus, I like me some puns. Even when they’re bad puns.
Rage Against the Green Smoothie
1 cup almond milk (or soy milk)
1 cup chopped beet green stalks
1 cup strawberries
1 cup frozen raspberries
Supplements (I like MSM, bee pollen, acidophilus, and a source of Omega fatty acids like flaxmeal, chia, or hemp seed)
Blend. Serve with love.
Today I used ground flax (aka flax meal) as my source of omega fatty acids. I tend to use it the most because it’s cheap, it’s easy to grind fresh, it doesn’t leave a taste like hemp seed does and it doesn’t make things as thick as chia seed. I’m going to be getting two types of beets today in my 1st CSA box from South Central Farmers’ Co-op. I can’t wait!!! Prepare yourselves for a lot of beet and kale recipes in the very near future.
