Green Smoothie of the Month: SPINACH APRICOT
It's not 100% raw, but the idea here is to get 1-2 bunches of leafy greens into my diet each day, however that is accomplished.
1 15-oz can of low- (or no- if you can find it) sugar apricots
Baby Spinach (the kind found pre-bagged), to the top of the 2-Liter Vita-Mix container
Blend!
Delicious!
Joseph's (10 mo. old) Smoothie of the Month: MIXED BERRY
1 12-oz bag "Mixed Berry" from frozen fruit section of the store
1 banana
1 avocado (optional)
water, to cover blades
Blend!
Other options:
1 12-oz bag blueberries
1 12-oz bag blackberries
1 12-oz bag cherries
Also, can successfully add GREENS! They didn't appeal to us real heavily this month, but nonetheless I at least threw in 1-2 handfulls of spinach.
We have eaten a LOT of mixed berry smoothies this month. Blackberries are by far the cheapest - $1.99, followed by blue- and raspberries - $2.89-$3.89. Mixed berry was the most expensive - $3.49.
You can get good deals on frozen berries at Wal-Mart, Grocery Outlet (Rainbow Grocery), and sales at normal stores.
Good news to report! Since drinking green smoothies of any type each day for one month... month ending with my period, I have to say there has been a positive change! Only one day did I need to take an Ibuprofin, and that was only 3 doses. Many months I have been crippled with pain to the point of having to stay in bed for 2-3 days, missing work or school, and not being able to do much of anything.
