Sipping on this green goodness right now...AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteI didn't have the chard, so I used spinach. Will try kale next time.
I'd never thought to use the coconut, it totally mellows the "greenness" of the celery & greens. I usually resort to adding another banana or apple when needed, but from now on I'll try coconut first.
Going to try this one out on the hubby & kiddos this morning!
Thanks, Chris :-)
How did the test go, Nancy? Steve looked pretty healthy when I saw him--no more boot. Must have been the green.
ReplyDeleteJust finished my green smoothie... delicious!
