I have been juicing most mornings here lately; usually it will involve carrots, apples and a melange of whatever green leafy veggies I find in my fridge. This morning I decided to mix my two favorite morning beverages, smoothies and juice. The result was a very bright and deliciously satisfying breakfast that really got my day started in the right direction. Other veggies can be subsituted in place of the celery and beet greens but the beet is essential for the color.
Sweet Beet Smoothie
makes four 8oz servings
1 Beet
4 Stalks of Celery
5 Carrots
Small Bunch of Beet Greens
Juice the above veggies and set aside for later use. If you really want to be resourceful you can use the leftover pulp from the juice in muffins... recipe to follow later!
1 cup of plain lowfat yogurt
1 Banana
6 Strawberries
2 tablespoons of honey
ice to taste
Blend the following ingredients with the above juice in your blender until smooth and enjoy with a smile knowing you are giving your body the most nutritious energy it could every want.
