I’ve had a few requests for more recipes for green smoothies. As I mentioned  in a previous post, smoothies are very forgiving, and typically if you throw in tasty things, your results will be fantastic. But I realized the addition of salad fixins’ can be intimidating, so if I make something that seems especially delicious, I will try to record my ingredients (approximately.)

Here is a yummy purple ‘green’ smoothie to start your day right:

Purple Green Smoothie

generous handful of spinach
2 T ground flax seeds
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 cup frozen pineapple
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 T honey
1 cup water
apple juice to cover solids in blender

Whir ingredients in blender until very smooth, serve to yourself and your loved ones. And if you’re in the Madison, WI area, Snug Haven Farm provides spinach year round, and its delicious.
