Introduction

This is my typical "pre-run" smoothie. The recipe makes 6 cups (48 oz) smoothie. One serving is 8oz. This is my typical "pre-run" smoothie. The recipe makes 6 cups (48 oz) smoothie. One serving is 8oz.

Ingredients

    8oz Almond milk (I use Almond Breeze original)
    8oz water
    2 cups shredded red leaf lettuce
    1/2 c peeled & chopped cucumber
    1/2 c parsley, fresh
    4 TBSP cilantro, fresh
    1 apple, medium with peel, coarsely chopped
    1 orange, navel, large (peeled)
    1 carrot, large (not peeled), coarsely chopped
    1 TBSP flax seed meal (ground flax seed)
    1 TBSP almond butter
    1 c frozen 3-berrie mix (I use Kirkland brand)


Tips

NOTE: I use a Vitamix blender. If you don't have a VERY powerful blender like a Vitamix, you probably are going to end up with mushed up veggies, not a smoothie.


Directions

Add ingredients to blender in order listed. Start blender on low and increase speed as ingredients get incorporated. Blend on high for 30-60 seconds to get smooth texture. Calorie count per serving is pretty low so I have at least 2 servings at a time. You can half this recipe easily or it's plenty to share!

Serving Size: Makes 12 8-oz servings (approx 3 qts smoothie)
