Super Lean and Green Smoothie

Health Overload

Green everything!

Ingredients

1 Pear (Bartlett)

1/2 Cucumber

1/2 Avocado

1 cup Kale

3 leaves of Mint

1/2 cup Water

1/2 cup Apple Juice (not exactly green)

and blend her up!

For more sweetness, add more pear and apple juice. I would add probably 2 pears next time, just to neutralize the stronger flavor of the cucumber.

Strawberry Smoothie I

Been experimenting with avocados in smoothies.

Ingredients

2 Cups Strawberries

1 Avocado

1 cup Apple Juice

1/2 Banana

The color is a little funky (since mix of complementary colors red of strawberries and green of avocados), and a little too creamy (1 whole avocado is a little intense, I would probably go with some ice or something next time), but the flavor is quite balanced and good! It's not overly sweet and tones down the sourness of the strawberries. 

Watermelon Smoothie

Summer is so great for refreshing watermelon smoothies! It's often hard to finish a whole watermelon, but this will make them go surprisingly fast.

Luckily they're so easy to make.

Ingredients: 

1/4 medium sized watermelon

1 cup water

Cut the watermelon into little squares (try to get a little bit of the light green part of the peel!) and refrigerate for an hour. Take out and add water & watermelon slices into blender and go for about 30 seconds on medium~
