Green Disaster!

There is such a thing as too much spinach!

Smoothie experiment this morning:
2 celery stalks
1 apple
4 cups spinach leaves
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup almond milk
1tablespoon diced orange peels
2 tablespoons chia seeds

Blended above ingredients except chia seeds. Added chia seeds and let sit in fridge for 10 minutes until they are plump like tapioca balls in bubble drinks.

Okay, it was sweet enough, but the green thick texture was hard to swallow :(

I think I got carried away with the spinach. Celery is a tough veggie to blend, very fibrous texture and it smells similar to grass when blended. I'm not selling this one very well.

It may also be my blenders. I ran it first through my commercial oster and then through the magic bullet. And once more through the oster. I may need a better machine. Until then, I will experiment with a little less spinach ;)

Happy Healthy Eating!
Love Always,
Maile
