Stu's Green Breakfast Smoothie
"We have a Vita Mix blender which is essential for this sort of smoothie. Make sure you add lots of fruit to give it some sweetness. This recipe makes a lot so half it if you are the only one drinking it. It keeps about a week in our fridge. You can alter the ingredients to suit your own tastes."

8
ingredients
- 4 cups greens (kale, chard, dandelions etc.)
- 3 medium bananas
- 1 cup frozen fruit (we use the anti-oxidant fruits)
- 1 tablespoon dates (soaked in orange juice)
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 2 cups orange juice (or other juice)
- 1 teaspoon lecithin powder (I used granules)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon bee pollen
directions
- Here's what we do:.
- Early in the morning go out into the garden and gather up your greens.
- If you don't have a garden get the greens from the grocery store, but get organic ones, these won't have any pesticide/herbicides on them. But wash them anyway.
- Stuff the greens into the blender and add the liquid ingredients. Then add the fruit and process until nice and creamy. You can make it thin or thick, it's up to you and what you like. We like ours a little on the thin side.
- Store in a jug in the fridge and enjoy often.
- Bon Appetit!

I was born in northern Ontario in Canada. I am of Irish /Spanish/French Canadian descent.
In 2002, myself, my hubby Stu, and our dog Ginger moved to the high desert of New Mexico.
I am a Domestic Engineer and a Professional Artist. I enjoy oldies, classical and jazz music.
My hubby is a Professional Jazz and Classical Musician. He plays with the Albuquerque Philharmonic Orchestra which is wonderful because I get to see all his concerts and they are free!
We are trying our best to live a Green and Sustainable lifestyle which is no easy feat in a desert.
I love any cookbook that promotes good health and tasty meals. I enjoy pasta dishes and sweet vegan deserts. I have found that I am very successful in converting conventional recipes to vegan. This has allowed me to enjoy all types of foods that I other wise could not.
Some day we would like to relocate to upstate New York and be closer to my family in Canada and my husbands in New York. My DH retires in 9 years, so nothing will stop us from heading home then :-)
