Unlock the Power of Green Smoothies
As a health enthusiast and Vita-Mix show demonstrator, I’ve always been passionate about sharing the benefits of green smoothies with my audience. But it wasn’t until a slow day at the store that I decided to experiment and create a recipe that would appeal to everyone. The result was nothing short of spectacular – my Emerald Ecstasy Green Smoothie has become a crowd favorite!
The Recipe
This refreshing blend yields 2-3 large servings or 4-5 smaller servings, perfect for a quick pick-me-up or a healthy breakfast on-the-go.
Ingredients
- 1-2 cups of green grapes
- 1/4 of a large pineapple or 1/3 of a small pineapple
- 1 large, ripe banana (or 1 1/2 if small)
- Half of an apple (including stem, seeds, skin, and core)
- 1/4 slice of lemon (rind and all)
- A generous double handful of spinach (about 4 cups)
- 2-3 cups of ice (reaching the top of the container)
Blending Magic
Add the ingredients to your Vita-Mix container in the order listed above. Start at variable speed #1 and quickly move to #10, then flip the switch to high. The mixture should be thick and slushy, allowing you to blend for up to two minutes without damaging enzymes.
The Perfect Blend
Blend on high until the mixture transforms into a liquid, then flip the switch back down to variable speed #1. Blend for a little while to release some of the frothy bubbles at the top. The first glass will be foamier than the last, which will be silky smooth.
Serve and Enjoy
Pour the Emerald Ecstasy Green Smoothie into glasses and serve immediately, while still very cold. This refreshing treat is perfect for hot summer days or anytime you need a boost of energy and nutrition. Visit www.BlenderLady.com for more recipes and tips to supercharge your health!
