CucumBerry

September 2, 2011

My son likes his green smoothies to be red. Physiologically it tastes better, apparently. So this if for him…

  • 1 whole cucumber
  • 1 peeled orange
  • 1 Tbs lime juice
  • 5 oz frozen raspberries
  • 10 oz frozen blueberries
  • 1 or 2 large kale leaves (optional-for the greens lovers)

Blend it up well. If you haven’t gotten a VitaMix, yet, they are doing a promotion right now on refurbished models, yay!

Have a great long weekend!!

    Lol, yes, while my eldest will willingly drink a yummy green smoothie if I give her no other option, my youngest puts her foot down unless it’s red.  Of course they actually eat a lot more whole cucumbers and other raw veggies than I do!  But I hate to have smoothie go to waste if I make more than I will drink at once.  And you are SO right, I LOVE my Vitamix.  (A Mother’s Day/Birthday gift to myself.)

    I love throwing cucumbers into a juicer/smoothie! The juice is so cooling and refreshing, and there’s a vitamin that’s really highly available in cukes that’s REALLY good for your skin.
