Sea Tea, (Named by Shawna Ruppert for her son)
2 plums
1 peach
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups almond milk
greens (you pick 1cup of : basil, celery, dandelion, Swiss chard, watercress, lettuce varieties, mint, sorrel, and strawberry leaves. These are selections you can pick just one or in combination. All are beneficial and seasonal greens.)
Blend with ice to your liking and enjoy! This is a wonderful breakfast, lunch, dinner, or cooling off treat for your body.
This smoothie has no sea or tea in it, but when it comes to getting kids interested in trying new things you have to be creative and have fun.
Have a Happy Healthy day!
Oooh! I'd love to learn more great smoothie recipes! Thanks for sharing! Plums and peaches are delicious already, so this one sounds really good! :) Blessings upon your weekend!
ReplyDeleteOOH that looks YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteThe ingredients sure do sound good - and definitely good for you! I might have to try this one, but give it an exciting name like Sea Tea or something crazy to get my son to try it.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I know it should have a name, I am posting a new green smoothie a week and this is number three. I guess you just names it!
DeleteSounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteHow is the basil in this? not overpowering?
ReplyDeleteNo, not at all. I like basil but I add just a few leaves. I have some growing in the yard and love to add where ever I can. Most of the greens I use are from lettuce greens right now. When I can get my hands on fresh organic dandelion greens, I will use them too. Swiss Chard goes great with basil. I Personally like to use one green at a time, with a little herb added. Not equal parts. The list above is a idea of great greens you can use for summer time.
DeleteGreen smoothies are awesome. So good for your body!
ReplyDeleteYes they are! :-)
DeleteAfter my Nutrisystem Journey is over, I really want to start trying to drink more stuff like this. The color does get to me a little though.
ReplyDeleteThe last time I tried something that color is when I worked at Whole Foods and tried Wheat Grass. That was not okay lol.
Sounds good, I like smoothies
ReplyDeleteThat really looks great!!!
ReplyDeletePeaches and plums are so expensive here :O( but that sounds great.
ReplyDeleteGreen smoothies are my favorite! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to share this recipe with a family I know who are GF/CF. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so good and healthy. Not sure how to get a hold of the greens though.
ReplyDeleteI need to start drinking something healthy like this daily! Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteYum! This looks delicious! Do you use dandelions from your own yard? I have so many out there and have thought a million times about using them in salads or smoothies. Is the taste overpowering?
ReplyDeleteI have never had a green smoothie. I may need to try one, everyone seems to like them :p
ReplyDeleteThey are so delicious, you will enjoy them. Sometimes people are indifferent because of the color, but they taste amazing. I hope you enjoy your first green smoothie. You body will thank you for it!
DeleteNow I have to try this one too! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kimberly! I hope you liked them. Which was your favorite?
DeleteThis looks good!
