Our usual smoothie has fresh spinach in it, but these are our attempt at something different. Everyone was nervous, but the taste was the same as the prior ones. The greens are very mild and most of the taste is strawberries & bananas.
Ingredients, per serving:
Splash of almond milk
1/2 banana (frozen or fresh)
4 large strawberries (frozen or fresh)
1/4 - 1/3 cup frozen collard greens (or fresh)
Optional - 1 tsp flax (ground) or chia seeds
Optional - ice
Optional - splash of vanilla flavoring
Blend the fresh bananas and almond milk first, then add greens. If using frozen bananas, blend the milk and greens first to make sure you don't end up with chunks of frozen greens. Then add in the frozen items and finish blending.
It even passed the 8 year old's yuck test.
UPDATE: Apparently, frozen greens are not ready-to-eat, so you'll need to cook these before using. Either wash and freeze fresh greens, or cook the frozen ones and re-freeze them before using, to avoid bacterial contamination.
