More Green Goodness

I had so much feedback about our green smoothie success! I wanted to share all the veggie ideas in one post in case you didn't catch all the comments ...

Strawberrycurls4 shared:

• Bolthouse Farms Green Goodess (I've seen this at Safeway, Fred Meyer, and Whole Foods ... I'm sure it's at many other grocery stores too!)
• Blend - Pineapple juice, spinach and a few drops of peppermint

Lactating Girl shared:

• We go by a method I found a while back where you add a thickening fruit (e.g. bananas, mango, apple), a flavor fruit (e.g. pineapple, strawberries, orange), spinach (literally 3-4 cups) and ice.

Heatherbeaudreau shared:

• Blend - Unsweetened almond milk, Trader Joe's chocolate hemp protein powder, flax seed, chopped frozen spinach or frozen peas, and banana

Carey shared:

• Blend - Avocado, banana, and orange juice

Jamie shared:

• Hummus - add some spinach leaves, lemon zest, and basil to premade hummus (or make your own), puree, and serve.
• PB&J - grate some raw carrot onto the peanut butter b/4 serving.
• Smoothies - add raw spinach leaves and use carrot juice (you can make your own really easily; do a search online for a recipe). Add 1/2 a banana, some berries, and yogurt and blend.
• Pancakes - peel & dice a carrot. Steam in the mircowave until soft. Puree. Add to the pancake batter.
• Applesauce - do the same as the pancake recipe, but add the pureed carrrots to the applesauce instead.
• Mac N Cheese - same as pancakes, but add pureed carrots or sweet potatoes to the cheese sauce. It turns an awesome bright orange color.
• Scrambled Eggs - grate some raw carrot, zuchinni, or cauliflower in the uncooked eggs, add cheese and scramble over low heat. 

Thank you ladies for all the fabulous ideas - I can't wait to add them into our menu! If I didn't link to your blog and you have one just shoot me an email - thatmamagretchen{at}gmail{dot}com.
