Theme: Moderator's Choice/ Healthy Smoothie
Dish: Green Glowing Smoothie
Day 2 of BM# 31 under 'Moderator's Choice' theme, I picked 'Healthy Smoothie'. We recently bought a new blender and I have been making smoothies quite often. They have come to our rescue when afternoon hunger pangs occurred.
Today's smoothie is super healthy. It is one of Dr.Oz's 5 beautifying smoothies. If you read the article, you will know that this smoothie has more 'gorgeous goods' than any other smoothie. That's because of the chock full of carotenoids found in Kale. Ingesting carotenoids (like the ones found in Kale) was associated with healthy looking skin and helps our tissues from oxidative stress and wrinkles.
I had all the ingredients for this green smoothie, so made it right away. I liked it so much that I made it again the next day :-)
Ingredients:Kale - 1 cup, roughly torn
Spinach - 1cup, torn
Pear - 1 medium, chopped
Green seedless grapes - 1cup
Orange - 1, peeled and quartered
Banana - 1, peeled
Chia seeds - 1tsp
Water - 1cup
Ice - 1cup
Method:
- Combine all the ingredients in a blender and process until well blended. Serve immediately.
