My latest obsession = super smoothies. I call them super because acai and spinach are well known super foods. They are basically making me more and more super.
If you’d like to try one yourself, it’s a pretty simple recipe:
1 package frozen acai
1 medium banana
1 cup strawberries
1 cup orange juice
1 organic lowfat vanilla yogurt
1 handful fresh spinach
Add 1 cup crushed ice and blend until smooth. Serves two. Enjoy!
Mmmm yum. Where do you get the frozen acai?
Haha, I’m reading this while eating (drinking? slurping?) a smoothie. A few weeks ago I tried adding kale to my fruit and yogurt usual mix and I couldn’t get over the weird texture. Have you noticed if spinach changed the consistency?
love these photos! my husband would definitely love this…now i just need a blender
I love smoothies. I call mine Green Monsters though because the spinach always makes mine green. You should add a little more spinach to yours
I promise you can’t taste it!
I use spinach in my smoothies but have never tried acai, I must try this!
I’ve been on a smoothie kick too! Since we’re doing the whole vegan thing, I’ve been using Coconut Milk (vanilla) and also adding kale. Kale turns your smoothie green, but as long as you have banana and berries you can’t even taste it. The coconut milk is to die for and gives your smoothie an Orange Julius taste. So yummy!
YUM. I LOVE acai.
I’m curious about how the spinach adds to the smoothie flavor wise? I’ve always avoided anything green cause I’m nervous it will tarnish the fruit flavor I love so much.
@Jessica – You can’t taste it. At all. Promise. I wouldn’t lie about this….I take my smoothies very seriously
yummm. except i don’t understand what acai is. i might just be a baby and make this without the scary green stuff.
I’ve seen those frozen Acai packs at the grocery store! I’m going to pick some up this weekend
Mmm loooooove acai. Where did you buy the frozen packets?
I can’t find frozen acai anywhere!
yum this looks awesome thank you! but im not sure if ill be able to find acai in NZ..
@Ainsley/Kate/Marie-Claire – This is the brand that makes frozen acai smoothie packs; http://www.sambazon.com and they have a retail locator on the website. You can also order it online!
