Notes
The ratio in this recipe is 1 vegetable to 1 fruit, which may be too sweet for some people and not sweet enough for others. If it’s not sweet enough, try adding more fruit or a little noncaloric sweetener (such as stevia).
Happy to hear how green smoothies have made a difference in your life, thanks for sharing!
We just had our first smoothie. Here is what i used. 1/4 cucumber, zucchini, carrot, 1/2 red apple, 1 cup of water. Tried to blend but needed to pulse I guess first due to the carrot. It was okay but warm. Going to get some ice in it tomorrow.
Sounds good. I have to get the greens then I’m going to try it
