Re: Fannypack's 10-day green smoothie challenge
March 23, 2010: Tuesday - DAY 7:
simple update:
finished smoothie made last nite by 8am...
it was so smooth and tasty, the cinnamon hit the spot...
20:30-had 4 bananas starting to brown so that is the starting point for this smoothie:
3.5 qts:
4 bananas
1 stalk of kale
1 stalk of red/purple kale
2 ribs of celery
handful of red-edged lettuce
handful of spinach
1 cup of frozen pineapple
2 pears
approx 4 cups of water
1 cup of ice
had to rotate in & out using jars because my blender only holds 2 qts, i.e., poured some into 1-qt jars as I added more & then ended up using 3 1-qt. jars as I added each jar of ingredients back to blender until I had 3.5 qts. of green smoothie in the 3 1-qt jars & my 20 oz. coffee cup...
um um good....
