Bonnie Lynn Young's Green Smoothie

My other blog, http://www.babyboomervegan.blogspot.com mentions the wonderful Vegetarian Summerfest, where I learned to make a terrific green smoothie.  This new smoothie, my own recipe, is really simple to make and you could have the ingredients on hand at any time!

Here are the easy ingredients to add to your vitamix blender:

1/2 bunch of kale
1 apple
1 individual can of pineapple juice
1 individual packet of coconut water
2 bananas

First strip the leaves off the stems of the kale and only use the leaves (torn into pieces) because otherwise the woody stems might wreck your machine.  The bananas could be frozen and you could add more than two if you want the smoothie thicker.  Just whorl everything in your blender and voila!  Done!

Here is the delightful and delicious result:

Our little grandson, Miles, is living with us and his parents while they search for a new home, so sometimes I get up early and make a smoothie for little Miles:

Little Miles is very picky and he hardly eats anything, but he LOVES his green smoothie!  Here's a picture of the little sweetie.

Being creative can include cooking, making new recipes and all kinds of wonderful homemaking activities.  And this brings such pleasure in life.

Until next time dear friends,
