I have made lots of smoothies in my day... we LOVE smoothies in our house, but never have I just thrown in RAW Veggies...
At my first attempt at trying to do so... This is what I came up with:
- Soy Milk
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
- Banana
- Spinach
- Carrots
- Flax
- Ice
And this is why I NEED a Vita Mix Blender.....
My Magic Bullet wouldn't pulverize the veggies like I needed but does crush ice very well...So I tried the food Processor.... You can see what it did to the veggies, but wouldn't touch the ice cubes.... Grrrr....
I realized quickly that I don't have the tools needed to go totally Raw.. I don't have a dehydrating thing-a-majig, nor do I have a VitaMix and really nothing else that would help me in this endeavor....
OH Woes Me!!
Alas, this one was quite tasty... Because of the blueberries, the color turned more grey then green...
Verdict:
Veg said he LOVED "GREY JUICE" (his name for this drink) and would drink it again.... BONUS!!!
I liked it as well, and could certainly add more variety next time. Hubby was a little Iffy on the chunks though I didn't find it too chunky (once removing the ice).....
So YES, I will make these LOTS more!! And I can see how filling and uberly deliciously nutritious they would be for a start to the morning... Now if I could only get a Vitamix.... hmmm? Maybe some day!!!
