Earlier I had mentioned in the spinach smoothie post about how I got started with green smoothies. This summer I made a variety of green smoothies from Green Revolution and Incredible Smoothies. The only difference is these 2 authors do not recommend using any milk to make these smoothies. Just add plain water instead of the non-dairy milk. I was not sure about this at first but I didn’t have any doubts about the taste after tasting the first recipe I tried which is this banana blueberry green smoothie. Since then I have been making my own combinations with whatever is available in the fridge and I have to say that the smoothies turned out great most of the time.

I have been preparing a lot of soups and smoothies lately.  Long time back my husband got me a Smoothies book and finally we are trying each and every recipe from it.  My son is especially showing interest in picking the recipe and shopping for the ingredients.  This in turn excites me because he is having something healthy almost every morning.  As always I keep making some change or the other to the original recipe to suit our taste and this plum smoothie recipe is no exception to that.

Happy Valentine’s Day folks! The last couple of weeks has been quite hectic with my eldest son not feeling well. Our daily routine was messed up and we are slowly getting back on track. I have so many recipes to post here but don’t find time to sit and write it, especially a lot of soup recipes. I have been making soups almost every other day. When I got up this morning I made it a point to definitely post one recipe, so squeezing in some time after breakfast. Since time is the constraint I’m posting a recipe which you could try too when you are running late in the morning. It just takes 5 minutes to prepare if you have the watermelon chunks ready already. It’s healthy, tasty and I’m sure that your kids will like it too because my 6 year old loves this watermelon lettuce smoothie as much as he loves his spinach smoothie. So I don’t see why you shouldn’t be trying this ASAP. I make this for breakfast and sometimes as an after school snack. When introducing this to your kids for the first time or even for adults, start with more watermelon and less lettuce. Once you start liking the taste you can do the opposite. You could use baby spinach too instead of the lettuce or a combination of both. This recipe is from the Green Smoothie Revolution I have mentioned earlier. Go grab a copy from the library if you haven’t already. Can you believe that I’m 5th in the waiting list at my library?
