When I mentioned these last week, some people were interested (although I'm sure a lot of you were not!) so I thought I'd share.
There's really not much to it - but I do have three variations:
The first was the very basic -
coconut water
kale (blanched and frozen)
frozen blueberries
a beet (that had been pre-roasted and chilled)
I put them all in my Vitamix and pushed it up to high. The result was a sweet, super healthy, refreshing drink.
I really thought I took photos of the process, but I couldn't find them. This is the final product.
2nd variation was all of the above with a good-sized handful of lightly salted almonds tossed in.
3rd variation had a scoop of hemp seeds instead of the almonds.
On Monday, when the temps were soaring, I tried a different one -
coconut water
salted almonds
an orange
kale

That was really good too!
I have to admit, this ice cream loving gal is totally hooked on these instead.
So confess - which appeals to you more - a September smoothie or a pumpkin spice latte (or anything else pumpkin spice - which appears to be limitless at the moment.)?
