I finally went shopping!  I purchased ingredients for three green smoothie recipes from the book.  Today I made Super Green Morning Glory.

Day 3:  Super Green Morning Glory

• 3 cups of water
• 2 handfuls of spinach
• 2 handfuls of green lettuce leaf
• handful of oak leaf lettuce
• 1 cup of strawberries (frozen)
• 1 mango (medium)
• 1 banana (medium)

Directions:  Add to blender in the order listed.  Blend well.

Yields:  Just about 6 cups

As I was making this smoothie I thought I would definitely have to add more fruit. It is a very deep green.  The consistency and color reminded me of baby poop.  I know that is a gross visual for food, but honestly that is what it looks like.

So, I didn’t pour a full glass. Instead, I poured just a little bit to taste it.  I had to sip it a few times because I was so surprised by how delicious it was! I am serious.  The strawberries and mango take over the flavor of the morning glory smoothie.

One thing to note.  Recently I read an article that most if not all of your vegetables and fruit should be chilled.  So, everything in this smoothie came from the fridge or freezer.  It is a chilly smoothie and again it tastes delicious!

I am sitting here sipping on it as I type.  I honestly can not believe I am enjoying it based on what it looks like.    Recipe, nutrition, and a picture of my results shown below.
