Purple Kale Smoothie

I like to keep my green smoothies simple. And I just use a cheap Osterizer blender that I bought way back in the 1990's and it still works! There is no need to get an expensive blender if you simply use your knife to cut the veggies into tiny pieces before you put them into the blender and use enough water or fruit juice to thoroughly blend and liquify all the veggies.

Purple Kale Smoothie

2-4 raw kale leaves with stems removed and leaves chopped into small pieces with a knife.

1 large raw carrot chopped into small pieces with a knife

1 medium to large raw beet chopped into small pieces with a knife

1 handful of frozen blueberries

Plus enough cold water or cold fruit juice to blend and liquify all the ingredients.

Crushed ice is optional. I prefer it without ice.

Consistency without ice will be less like a smoothie and more like a runny milkshake.

This recipe gives your body the nutrition it needs. I feel better after drink this.

*DaNae's Note: Thank you for posting your smoothie recipe and tips. People do need to know that they can still get the benefits from their smoothies with a cheaper blender. It just takes a bit of extra work. Thanks again!
