Ingredients:
2 cup spinach
leaves or kale leaves (de-stemmed if Kale Leaves)
1 celery stalk
1 banana
(previously frozen and sliced or fresh ripe)
1 cup frozen
strawberries
1 cup frozen
pineapple
Water (enough
to make the smoothie the consistency you like)
Preparation:
Place the
softer fruits in the bottom of the blender jug or pitcher and place any ice or
frozen
fruits at the top.
Place all the
ingredients in the pitcher at once.
When you
place the softer produce and liquids (juices or milks) in the bottom, the
blades will
purify the soft items and the liquids easily, creating slurry that
the hard items (ice, hard
vegetables or fruits) can then more easily slip into
and blend.
If you pack
too much hard fruit or veggies in to the bottom, the blades will pulverize the
hard fruit
easily, but the softer fruit may not drop down into the blades
because the hard pulverized produce hasn’t become slurry.
Add ice as an
ingredient to cool down the smoothie or to create the pureed frozen viscosity
of
the drink.
If you are
using frozen fruits and vegetables instead of fresh, you’ll already have the
frozen viscosity taken care of, so you’ll not need to use as much ice as the
recipe calls for if at all.
Adjust your
smoothies after you have blended everything.
Take a small
taste and make sure the flavor and viscosity is right. You can drop a few more
ice
cubes in to chill it more or add more fruit to sweeten it up.
Keep the
blender on for 3-4 minutes to get the smoothie completely blended.
With a tamper
stick push down on the ingredients like the pros do, you will have the smoothie
perfectly blended.
Serve 4.
