Finally!

I finally made a decent smoothie today! Yay! I took a break from green smoothies and just had a strawberry and blueberry smoothie. I added two drops of vanilla stevia to sweeten it. It was really great :)

Sorry for the lack of a picture, I drank the smoothie too fast!

Kale Fail

Oh man, guys. I failed epically today. I got some kale to make smoothies with and I tried it out. It was awful - way worse than the iceberg lettuce fail earlier this week. I just did kale, ice, lemon juice, and water. Turns out the lemon juice wasn't enough to make the kale not so kale tasting. I didn't even bother taking a picture, seeing as it tasted like grass (and my camera got washed...). 

I'm pretty bummed that I keep striking out with smoothies - I was really hoping to have at least one smoothie a day to knock out a veggie or two. Any suggestions for a green smoothie that actually tastes good and contains some veggies?

Apple!

Today's smoothie is a lot better than yesterday's. I made it with an apple, green tea, lime juice, and ice. Yum!

Enough Lime?

The smoothie actually looked pretty good...

Ugh. Well, here's a teachable moment. Iceberg lettuce does not belong in a green smoothie. I'll say it again. Iceberg lettuce DOES NOT belong in a green smoothie. I managed to salvage it somewhat by adding a ton of lime juice, but the darn thing still tastes like bad lettuce. Bad, bitter lettuce and lime juice, yum...

For those who are curious, I cubed an apple and put it in the cup, jammed as much lettuce in there as I could, and then blended. I then put in ice, water, a ton of lime juice, and blended.

And the beautiful reaction shot. Ok, it isn't that bad, but it's pretty nasty.

 

I can drink it, but it certainly isn't pleasant. Oh well. Live and learn, right?
