I’m participating in Happy Foody’s green smoothie challenge because I thought it’d be fun.
The other day, I was telling my little sister about the challenge, as well as about the yummy smoothie I had just made. It had about 5 leaves of cabbage, 2 pears, lemon juice, probiotics, and water. It tasted like spring!
“Spring?!”, she said. “You mean it tasted like dirt.”
“No – spring! You know – springy, light, fresh ..”
“If it actually tasted like something, you’d have a word to describe it. You wouldn’t have to use spring. Anyway, I think spring would taste like dirt.”
Heh.
If you’re wondering, this one has 2 oranges, a Meyer lemon, half a banana, half a bunch of lacinto kale, and water. It tastes like a slightly tart orange.
Lib? (you’re “Libby” for this one) I think you’re reachin’!
Oye, that doesn’t sound very tasty.
Hey girl! It looks delicious…although I am a banana girl myself. My smoothies have at least 2 bananas in them!
I love the orange in there too…so tropical. Keep focused…you’ll love the results.
what a great photo! just out of curiosity, what type of probiotic did you use?
I love the ‘taste’ of spring. I know exactly what you’re saying! I always say Cilantro tastes like spring to me – light, fresh. MMmmmmm! {It’s one of my favorite flavors.}
ann – LOL!
lauren – it tastes better than it sounds/looks, really!
livelightly – it was! I was inspired by your orange tropical drink. I’m actually not a banana girl, hence the 1/2s.
jennifer – thanks!
jennifer – whew, I was starting to wonder if she was right.
Well, it looks pretty and springy, and if drinking that will make spring come more quickly, then I might be tempted.
Sorry Lib, I think that I will just stick to winter flavors for now!!!
ha, some ppl agree with me libby:)……little sister indeed, i’ll have to start calling you ancient older sister
