Okay I just made the most thirst quenching smoothie ever.
You HAVE to try this!
1 cube** of Celery
1 cube of Spinach
1 cube of Cranberry
1 frozen apple***, thawed (only take about 15/20minutes!) cut in half, cored & squeezed into cup
1/4 cup lemonade flavored Gatorade (leftover from yesterday's workout)
~Blend
really well. Its going to look disgusting and somewhat frothy but give
it a try. I was surprised enough by it to tell YOU about it!
**I pre-prep most of my smoothie ingredients so I can throw them into my Bullet and go.
To
prep fruit & veggies into cubes you will need an ice cube tray you
don't want to use for ice anymore. This is because once you use it for
spinach or kale or anything green, there will forever be a green malady
on the tray even though you will scrub and scrub... anyhoo...
Trim
away any parts of the veggies/fruit you deem unworthy for consumption
and wash thoroughly, then chop up roughly. Shove it into your Bullet or
blender, add a teensy bit of water to get the whole thing going. I
usually get a tray of cubes using about 3/4 of my Bullet cup worth of
blended veggies/fruit. Freeze! I store the cubes in an old mixed nuts
container in the freezer so I can use the tray for the next batch.
***I
mostly make cubes out of veggies - mostly because I dislike chopping,
but fiberous items like Rhubarb need the extra effort and are SO worth
adding to your smoothies! Other items like apples and bananas are great
to freeze whole. There is something miraculous about the freeze/thaw
process that mushes the fruit pulp and releases every ounce of liquid
goodness. More than you expect, I bet!
Banana Bread & Apple Crisp is so much less work with this!
