Incredible Hulk Smoothie

I know. I know. I have been super M.I.A. So many things have been going on. I am in the kitchen daily mixing it up for you all out there in Beautyland.

What the heck is an Incredible Hulk Smoothie? A green smoothie that makes one strong, silly. New year. New results. new vitimans, new healthy eating habits are the way to go! There are so  many versions of green smoothies out there. I make mine simple. I use whatever I have in the house. Since we eat mainly fresh veggies and fruits, I grab a few items and viola! Smoothie.

Now that I have burned out two blenders, I think I have it down. Well, at least the last one was good anyway.

RECIPE:
2 Cups of water
2 large handfuls of spinach
1 large handful of collards, kale, mustard greens or something of the sort
1 banana
2 apples
1 orange

I also like to add strawberries, blueberries, blackberries.
last time I added papaya! My first time cutting it and making it fit in my blender.

BLEND WELL. *note with a cheap, but good, blender like mine, I have to blend, pause, make sure there is no smoke or burned wire action happening, stir, blend.

Pour in glass and chug. Not too bad tasting really. Keep a toothpick handy. Spinach in teeth is not SewFly, not sexy at all.

REVIEW: Big stong and full of antioxidants and all that good stuff! These are super easy to make. They also are not time consuming. About 5 minutes and I am done! I actually like these. I have such a love hate relationship with fruit. This time of the year has very little selection in the way of melons, peaches and all the summer fruits I like so I just go with the flow. DO NOT ADD SUGAR or honey. As much as it is tempting to do so-don't. The benefits of the smoothie are that I get all my fruits and veggies for the day in one large smoothie. I carry mine throught out the day. It becomes a snack that way.

I did notice that I became really thirsty though. So still continue to drink plenty of water.
