Its a new year and a new day! I’ve been on a a little hiatus from updating you guys but with things changing up a bit I plan on having more time to blog with you guys. Around this time of the year, I usually do a fast for 40 days In preparation of that I went to the farmer’s market to purchase some produce. From kiwis, pears, starfruits, clementines, bananas and lemons, I was well equipped to make tropical green smoothies for days for under 15 bucks. Though its great to buy green juices or smoothies on the go, the cost adds up. With a little bit of time and preparation 15 bucks of produce can stretch well into a week. I for one love the fresh taste of Kale in my smoothies because it gives it a fresh grass taste but Kale goes bad really quick. So in order to prevent that I wash my kale in vinegar and water and zip lock them, keeping one bag in the fridge and one in the freezer. Though the frozen batch never taste the same as the fresh batch its close compared to the frozen bagged Kale found in grocery stores. Check out my recipe below:
Tropical Oasis Green Smoothie
Fresh Kale
Fresh/ Frozen pineapple chunks
1 or 2 clemetines (peeled)
handful of frozen grapes
Coconut water or Water
Blend and enjoy!
FYI: I almost always use frozen pineapples so I rarely incorporate ice in my smoothies.
