3 Days of Nothing but Green Smoothies… (Kale, Pineapple, Green Apples, Banana)

Written by admin on May 11, 2009 – -



green applesWell I am so excited to once again drink nothing but green smoothies for the next three days. To be honest, I am excited, but also I know me and I just love salads, so not having one for the next three days, will definitely be a challenge for me.

I read that Tera from The Raw Divas is eliminating sweet fruits for the next three days and I applaud her for that.  I am working on creating green smoothie recipes without SWEET fruits, but I’m not there yet.  I know this is a process that will help reduce the amount of sugar in my diet.

I just love the morning time because I know that I will start my day off with a few glasses of refreshing water and then I get to dive into a delicious green smoothie.  This will help me to stay on track all throughout the day.

I have made this smoothie before with a few different ingredients, but I decided to cut out the agave after reading an article that Raw Mom contributor Penny Powell sent to me.  I really do enjoy adding medjool dates to my green smoothie, but I am going to work on allowing the natural sugars tantalize my taste buds.

Naturally Good Green Smoothie Recipe

  • ·One bunch kale (you can use any variety, but I used the curly kale in this recipe)
  • ·One cup pineapple chunks
  • ·Two Granny Smith apples (you can use any variety; I was in the mood for something a bit tart)
  • ·One Banana
  • ·Half cup water (optional)

Blend and enjoy!
