Trying this new eating healthy thing has really been a stumbling block for me because I like to throw down in the kitchen with all my calories and fats and cholesterol that will give me a heart attack! Hey, I'm just being honest. You know we can put some elbows and knee caps in some food, especially southern food which I had learned to make from scratch while pregnant with my second son two years ago. So yall already know we be eating good up in here! Anyhow, I do have an ongoing muscle disease that disagrees with that diet and I had just found out how horrible certain foods actually made me feel. How unfortunate that I learned how to cook everything that I love just to give it away to fruits, veggies and smoothies...smh! What a waste!
On my quest to find something that even sounds like it may taste good and be healthy I stumbled across this phenom of Green Smoothies! Don't it look really tasty?
Well maybe it doesn't look that tasty, especially the one I had made had chocolate in it so you can just imagine what that looked like...eww! Surprisingly it was super delicious and yummy. I even gave some to my children and they thought it was a milk shake!
Chocolate Green Smoothie Recipe
- 1 Hand full of fresh Spinach
- a pinch of fresh Parsley leaves
- 1 Cup of unsweetened (homemade) Almond milk
- 2 Tablespoons of Honey
- 1 Cup of frozen Bananas
- 1 Cup of frozen Strawberries
- a couple of cubes of ice
- a couple of pieces of chocolate (optional)
Blend everything together and there you have it a delicious green smoothie! I added some crumbled up butter cookies on top and we had a great desert. I loved it and the kids did too! I can't wait to try many more.
