Today I was running low on fresh food in the refrigerator, so I made a smoothie out of all the stuff I had. I’ll have to admit it came out kinda bitter. I know that there are a lot of people, especially men, that enjoy bitter (all the men in my herbalism class found bitter tasting things to taste much better than the women thought they tasted) So, I’ll let you be the judge.
Ingredients:
1 grapefruit
5 carrots
1 beet
1 mango
2 nectarines
3 bananas
1 scoop your choice green powder
2 Tablespoons raw cacao powder
agave nectar to sweeten (to taste)
Instructions:
Run the carrots, beet, and peeled grapefruit through a juicer. Peel the mango and slice the fruit off the seed. Slice the fruit off the seeds of the nectarines. Peel the bananas (of course!) Put the juice in the high speed blender, add the rest of the ingredients, and blend on high for a 1 minute or so. If you want to add your favorite protein powder, go right ahead. And let me know if you think it is bitter!
Makes enough for 2 large servings.
