Strawberry Disgustingness 12 May 2010
Today for lunch I decided to venture out and try something new. I’d participate in the green smoothie revolution sweeping the nation! It was great! It was healthy! It was GOOD FOR ME!
Um. I fail. I started with yogurt (soy, since my nursing infant is allergic to dairy), added some spinach, and then asked the dangerous question: “What else?” Oh my fridge provided, yes it provided plentifully. I dumped in fresh strawberries, baby carrots, sprouts, and a roma tomato. Yes. Yes, I did get a bit carried away. Okay, fine. A LOT carried away. I was distracted by this romantic notion that my green smoothie was going to be a bit more V-8 like, and give me all my veggie servings for the day! Hooray!
Sadly, it was disgusting. Strawberry Disgusting in smoothie form. Adding a bunch of sugar didn’t even help, and that’s saying something.
What a waste of strawberries and yogurt. I’m sticking to regular smoothies from now on. I LIKE the NON-GREEN!
I have a recipe for “green drink” that is quite yummy. It involves orange juice. I can try and find it if you want.
um, you’re not supposed to put things like carrots and tomatoes in green smoothies. stick to your greens and fruit! LOL
I have a great green smoothie recipe. Orange juice, spinach leaves and frozen berries. That is it. Delish.
