| "I have never tried kale before and this was my first green smoothie, absolutely delicious!" |
This new smoothie looks deliciously appetizing! Oh, who am I
kidding. So maybe it looks like green slime from the nether world, but
nonetheless, it tastes delicious! Hmm, kale and apples... Together. Who would
ever think of that? Not to mention, a green smoothie, that is interesting too.
When I first tried this recipe, I had my doubts too. Anyways, as disgusting as
it looks, it is delicious. Even Nastia Liukin enjoys this odd looking drink! It seems like it might make a great snack before,
during, or after practice. Without further ado, here's the recipe:
- 3/4 cup chopped kale, ribs and thick stems removed
- 1 small stalk celery, chopped
- 1/2 banana
- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 1/2 cup ice
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Directions:
1. Place the kale, celery, banana, apple juice, ice, and lemon juice in a blender.
2. Blend until smooth and frothy.
