Here is the finished product:
First, cut up about 1/4 of a cucumber, I bought just a medium, average sized cucumber. Then cut that 1/4 cucumber into very slender circular pieces. Then cut those circular pieces in half (makes it easier for blender to cut up). Next, take a granny smith apple and cut it in half (you'll be using only half of the apple for the single serve recipe. Then, cut that 1/2 apple again into slender, skinny slices, and proceed to then cut those slender slices into halves. Next, take a green pear, cut it in half (again half a pear is for one serving). Then cut the half pear into skinny slices, then cutting those skinny slices into half pieces. Next I bought one bushel of kale, I'd say it looks about average size. Take 1/3 of that kale and cut/shred into small pieces. The next ingredient is to just drop 12 raw almonds into the mix. Next put in 1/2c of plain greek yogurt into the blending cup. Also drop in about a handful of fresh cranberries. Then put a green tea bag into a coffee cup with about 1/4c water, bringing it to a boil (for my microwave that took about 2 minutes), and dump the green tea into the blending cup. And finally, put about 1c unsweetened almond milk into the mix. Blend around 3 minutes or so. From beginning to end this took me about 10-15 minutes to create. Calorie total I am estimating this smoothie at is about 305 calories!
Well I hope everyone enjoys this smoothie! I did. Feel free to add about a half cup of trop50 orange juice is you want to make it a little sweeter.
That's all in the post! Stay forever fit, forever healthy.
