My daughter loves the color purple. She kind of likes my smoothies, but sometimes I go a bit too "green" and the taste is a tad off (I don't drink them for the taste). Today, I decided to make a purple smoothie in an effort to get her to finish more of what I don't. It worked! And it's pretty damn good too. I'm not one to measure ingredients in smoothies (again, I'm not really drinking them for the taste), but trust me, this is really good as long as you ballpark it.
About a cup of almond milk
A handful of green grapes
About a cup, maybe more of frozen bluberries (I use Wyman Wild)
2-3 frozen beet slices (These are new for me, I just found them at Whole Foods) Remember, a lot of beets are GMO, so buy them organic or Non-GMO verified.
Big handful of power greens
Big handful of frozen 365 brand mixed greens or blue curled kale
2 large organic strawberries
1/4 fuji apple
1/4 lime
2 or 3 frozen 365 organic broccoli florets
Cold water, I just pour some in, maybe 6 oz, sorry-you might need to pour a bit more or less or just use a bunch of ice cubes for a really thick smoothie.
I also add, but not needed:
1/2-1 teaspoon tuneric powder
1/4 teaspoon Beyond a Century cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon Beyond a Century resveratrol powder
These shouldn't change the taste much either way; I use them to supercharge the smoothie with antioxidants.
