Green Smoothie Day #3

For the entire day, I blended...

16 spears asparagus                            $  1.60
1 cup frozen blueberries                     $  1.10
4 fists full of kale                                $  2.60
6 bananas                                            $  1.20
12 large strawberries                           $  1.20
olive oil drizzle                                   $    .40
1 cup 100% Aloe Vera Juice               $  2.00
                                    TOTAL =       $  10.50

Okay, so I went a little crazy today with the ingredients.  I wound up making almost 5 containers of green smoothie, so I have some of tomorrow's juice too.

I added the Aloe Vera Juice because I had it on hand.  I purchased it in order to make a facial acne spot treatment for my daughter.  I bought the exact same Aloe Vera Juice that is in the video...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRCI-16C7R4

I do not think I will be doing that again, since the amount that I used added 2 bucks to my day!

The flavor of today's batch of smoothies was great!

  1. This is neat idea. I have totally strayed from my healthy habits and I'm looking for a quick way to feel better again. Its amazing, just a few weeks off track and I feel absolutely horrible! I am a bit concerned about "the lightness" and "coolness" of the smoothies in the cold dead of Canadian winter, so I am going to combine with some hearty & hot broths and soups. I absolutely LOVE what you're doing here. I'll let you know how it goes!

    1. Definitely keep me posted! I have thought about augmenting my days with the "skinny soup" that I always have in the refrigerator or freezer. I use my new wand blender to mix it, so the consistency is much like my green smoothies. GOOD LUCK!!
