this is a green smoother recipe from WF, slightly modified to my tastes. i also cut their recipe in half (shown below) to avoid the temptation of drinking second glass = addl calories.
Green Smoothie (serves 1)
1-1/2 cup baby spinach leaves (prewashed) or fresh kale leaves (washed & deveined), or combo of dark leafy greens of choice
3/4 cup unsweetened flax milk (yummy, nutritious and soooo low in calories)
1/4 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 frozen banana (freeze sliced so they're easy enough for the blender to manage)
2-3 dried apricots (chop before putting in blender)
throw it all in a blender and pulse 'til as smooth as you wish.
approx 160 calories per serving.
NOTE: Old Skool blenders work really well (i have my mom's old Osterizer). using fresh blueberries keeps the smoothie a brightish green -- when i use frozen blueberries the color becomes a very unappetizing grey/purple.
enjoy!
