Transcript of "How To Make a Green Smoothie":
Welcome. We're going to make some green smoothies. If you don't know what a green smoothie is, it's very simple. It's this new craze that's going around the world. All it is real simply is a combination of fresh fruits and then dark leafy greens. It's not vegetables, the dark leafy greens.
We need to start off with some fruit. If it doesn't have fruit in it, it's going to taste like ass. Very easily; we're going to get some bananas, we're going to get some greens. The sweetener is going to be the banana. You can use other things like dates, honey, or any type of sweet fruit really; it's going to sweeten it up. As long as you have a fair bit of fruit, you can mix it with whatever greens you like. This is just a big box of greens that I got form the market. I got carrot tops and the carrots, obviously. I'll eat them and I'll put the carrot tops in my smoothies. Spinach, bunches of spinach; I was eating big bunches of spinach. They're really good. Got to wash them. Parsley, celery, some cucumbers, some mint, some kale, and some lemons. Let's make a green smoothie.
Starting off with the bananas, let's put in one banana. Let's put in some dates, 4 dates. Cucumber, just chuck it in, even the tops go in. We're going to put some spinach in. How much? I don't know; that much. Banana, dates, whole cucumber, big handful of spinach; what else is going to go in here? That's seems pretty darn easy. Really, all these celery tops you can put in. There's more nutrition in the tops of our fruit and veg than in the bottoms. For example, for this to grow, all the nutrition from the sun had to hit the leaves, make all the nutrition, and then filter down to this part. There's still concentration of everything in these leaves. We leave them on. I eat this. I can juice them, but I'm going to put these in my smoothies because it's much more nutritious for us. Celery tops, how many?
I don't know. I do know; that many, a handful.
No the Vitamix with the lid, always with the lid on top. This is going to be very thick. There's not much water in here so we might have to add in some water at the very end. We might even need some ice. You get some ice from the freezer because that's where ice comes from, and we're going to put in couple of cubes. That's maybe a tray of ice. Tamper. If this ever happens at home where it's just not turning into liquid quick enough, you need to add some liquid. This is what not to do. You can get some water, you can get some coconut water, juice, all those types of things you can get. I'm just going to get some water now. I know this is a big water bottle. That was a cup of water, 1 1/2 cup.
Starting on slow, this is a Vitamix; slow. If you want, you can go . . . let's put a teaspoon of coconut oil in there [inaudible: 03:38] that's about 1 1/2 minutes, 2 minutes. Turn it off. If you ever get bubbles in the top, run it on the low setting just slowly, and now they're gone.
The first green smoothie. Will it be good? I hope it will be. What a joke if it isn't. Awesome. Hope you like it. Brain freeze.
