St. Patrick’s Day is this Sunday… and with a name like Murphy you best BELIEVE I must represent!
So this week will be an homage to green…
I wish it could be an homage to green beer, green donuts, green cake and the like… but when you’re married to THIS Murphy… that ain’t gonna happen! He’s the jolly green clean machine…
… as a result? You get what I believe to be the most perfect smoothie. I might be tooting my own horn… but when your two year old sucks it down like water… you know you’ve got a damn good smoothie on your hands… or in your gut I should say.
Happy Monday my little leprechauns!
The Goods:
One big ripe banana
One small small ripe avocado
A BIG handful (and a half?) of raw kale (tear the leaves off of the stems)
A BIG handful (and a half?) of raw spinach
One 5.3 oz container of Siggi’s Blueberry or Acai and Mixed Berry Icelandic Yogurt
A handful and a half of ice
Optional: 1 tablespoon of flax seed
Apple juice to taste (approximately 1-2 cups). What I do is fill up the blender with everything else, then pour enough apple juice to reach the 2 cup mark on my blender. It’s not really 2 cups though, because everything else is taking up space. This seems to pass the taste test every time.
This recipe makes enough to fill a 10 oz sippy for P and two medium sized smoothies for the hubs and I.
Enjoy!
