This smoothie is perfect for either a pre- or post-workout boost. It’s filling, yet leaves you feeling light. Best yet, it’s a fabulous raw food nutritional powerhouse that even kids will love. Instead of a recipe, it’s more of a formula that can be played with as fruit comes into season.
In a blender, add:
- 1 cup liquid (Choose from unsweetened soy milk, kefir, yogurt, water & ice, etc.)
- 1 banana (I know that this is so not local, but it’s my weakness! I think smoothies just scream for that creamy texture they impart.)
- 1 cup (or the equivalent) local fruit in season (This morning I used a single large nectarine.)
- Handful of greens (This morning I went into the garden and harvested some red Swiss chard)
- 1 Tbsp flaxmeal
Simply puree until smooth and serve. Just don’t tell the kids that there is anything green in there until after they’ve enjoyed it!
