These smoothies have really become a big part of my life. I didn't have time to make them the past two months because of my work schedule so I was over the moon to get back to it. This particular batch contains spinach, cucumber, pineapple, apple and banana.
If you are a smoothie lover, green or not, here are two things I have learned from my concoctions.
1. If you want something fresh and frothy, cucumber is your friend. Cucumber has the ability to take a sweet drink and make it almost ice cream like. It's amazing.
2. If you want something creamy, banana is the ingredient you need to add. When I first started making green smoothies, I hesitated adding banana to spinach. I don't know why considering I was loving the spinach/pineapple combination. When I finally did it, I was blown away.
As I learn tips, I will share them here. In the meantime, if you have any tips, please comment below.
Yes, I love green smoothies. I'm not a huge dairy (except cheese) person so I find that bananas (even though I don't like them) help to bulk up my smoothies without the taste. I drink cucumber water a lot but have never used it in my smoothie. Thanks for the tip!
