I haven’t done any 30-day trials in quite a while, but today I tried one thing that is on my list of things to do 30-day trials of. That thing is a green smoothie. Mostly I’m writing this post for my own records, to keep track of what I’ve had.
Today’s green smoothie included:
1/2 cup spinach (very lightly packed)
slightly less than 1/2 cup water
1/2 cup blueberries
1 nectarine
1 banana
slightly less than 1/2 cup hazelnut milk
The hazelnut milk is actually a new thing as well, but I was very confident that I’d like it, since I love hazelnuts! I tasted it and approved before I put it in the smoothie, but I couldn’t taste it anyway. Actually, all I could taste were the blueberries and the banana. The nectarine wasn’t very ripe, which is probably why I couldn’t taste it.
Next time, I will use more spinach, more liquid, and either a ripe peach or a riper nectarine. This one was quite delicious, though. And unlike fruit smoothies I’ve had in the past, it felt substantial; I didn’t feel like I needed some solid food to go with it as my breakfast.
The funniest thing about this green smoothie was that it wasn’t green! The blueberries overwhelmed the color, so it was a sort of dark purple instead.
