Smoothie recipe

           Part of aging is my body’s reduced tolerance for crappy (and yummy) food. “Eat kale every day!” Gah! Well, I’ll cook up greens once in a while, or throw them into salads or soups or egg dishes, but my favorite vehicle for greens is the smoothie. They aren’t pretty, but I’ve achieved a taste like something that shouldn’t be healthy, but is.
 
            Smoothie for 2:

• One frozen banana (*great tip for peeling frozen banana* Run hot water over the banana for 30 seconds. Cut in half. Squeeze out the two ends – voila!)
• 4-8 frozen strawberries (or any berries/other fruit)
• 1c orange juice
• ½-1c yogurt (I use whole milk Cabot Greek style)
• nice chunk of ginger, sliced – two thumbs worth for me!
• Big handful of greens
• Tsp. honey or maple syrup, to counter the bitterness of greens
• Blend thoroughly

 
            Very adaptable to creativity. Enjoy!
