Ingredients for Sweet Potatoes & Chickpeas in Chili Sauce
Pineapple Citrus Green Smoothie
- 2 cups baby spinach loosely packed, (see spinach note below)
- 1 1/2 cups frozen pineapple cubes or chunks
- 1/2 cup cucumber thickly sliced
- 1 large lemon or small orange peeled
- 1 cup overripe banana frozen or fresh, sliced (see banana note)
- 1 1/4 cups water add more to thin as desired
- 2 tbsp vanilla plant-based protein powder (optional)
- 2 tsp pure maple syrup or a pinch of stevia to sweeten, if desired, (see banana note)
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds optional
- Combine the spinach, pineapple, cucumber, lemon, 1 cup banana, and 1 1/4 cups water in a blender, along with any optional add-ins. Puree until very smooth, adding more water as needed to puree. Taste, and if you’d like it sweeter, add the extra banana.
-
Spinach Note: Kale or collard greens can easily be substituted for spinach, though they have a much stronger flavor than spinach. If you are new to green smoothies, start with just a cup of kale or collards, and then adjust to taste as you go. (Tracy used kale)
-
Banana Note: Use overripe (freckled) bananas. Not only are they more digestible, they also offer a great deal of natural sweetness. If the bananas aren’t particularly overripe, you may want to add a touch of maple syrup to sweeten the smoothie.
