Salad Smoothies

[Guest guest]

I've been drinking/eating kefir smoothies for lunch at work for

months and months. I Vita mix fruit, flax grain and stevia--I can

drink it only if it's flavored or sweet, and I wanted filling and

nutritious. I can sip it while I work -- no mess, no mouthful of

food when a customer arrives.

When making a Vita mix green smoothie I realized I can put veggies in

kefir too, right????? So, the next kefir smoothie was a cup of raw

spinach leaves, a chunked up apple, 1/2 a carrot, flaxmeal, stevia &

about 2 cups kefir. Bright green, sweet and delish. One veggie led

to another and I tried...ready?.......Broccoli. I kid you not. A

few florets of raw broccoli, 1/2 a carrot, a few pineapple chunks

and/or a chunked apple, about 2 cups kefir, sweetener, and Vita mix

away for a pretty green smoothie. For Halloween I blended a carrot,

sweetener, an apple and/or some pineapple, flax, and Viola--a bright

orange smoothie.

I stress Vita-Mix blender because it has the power to pulverize raw

veggies. If you have such a blender, go to the Vita-Mix site and

you'll find a downloadable page for the green smoothie combinations.
