wow wife made me a smoothie

[littlewolf]

at boy was it good.
she has been making it for herself
for a week now, so today she made it
for me. spinach, almonds, almond milk, honey, blueberries, bananas
it looked awful dark and thick like someone forgot to do
an oil change! but it was very tasty.
had it about 1100 and I think it is a nice lunch.

3. Your tag line

if you can read this - thank a teacher, if you can read this in English - You're welcome.

4. How are the proportions of your ingredients?

I haven't done smoothies, but frankly, it sounds like a great way to get your pyramid nutrition 5 servings.

6. lets see the ingredients are:

1 cup unsweetened soy milk
4 slices of banana
handful of plain roasted almonds
1 cup blueberries
spinach (not sure how much)
squirt of honey.

7. Hmmm… to that, I'd add...

about a cup of raw spinach (not very much, when you think about it…

I am suddenly away form soy unless it's vanilla in my coffee, so I think this should also work with unsweetened almond milk (especially with the roasted almonds!)

Thanks!

5. Curious about the proportions as well - I like making healthy smoothies - and I'm also

not getting your tagline....maybe because I'm very tired, I just returned the middle of the night from Costa Rica where they speak Spanish at which I truly suck, and will be flying out to Germany in 5 days where they also speak a foreign tongue but it's one I'm fluent in...

8. adding this combo to the smoothie thread

I make zucchini crust for pizza about once a week. There is a lot of zucchini juice as a byproduct of squeezing the zucchinis so they are dry for the crust.

I thought people might like to know about this since we have many zucchinis at this time of the year.

Drink the zucchini juice plain and it's very good, but I've been making up combos. Today's:

zucchini juice
sprig of mint, chiffonade
1/2 small cup of vanilla yogurt
spinach leaves
slice of pineapple

Delicious!

People with a sweet tooth might want to add some sweetener, but I was making it as a substitute for lunch.
