Recipe: Flax & Greens Smoothie

papersadmin on Apr 4th 2008 at 10:30 am food, meals, recipes

This is a recipe of my own concoction. Can’t promise the flavor is good, but it’s not horribly bad either. One of those flavors I can live with.

Combine and mix in blender the following:

1-2 teaspoons Flax Oil (I suppose you could use ground flax seed as well)
1 scoop of HealthyGreens (or an equivalent product)
1-2 teaspoons Fresh squeezed Lemon Juice
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
2 tablespoons MLO Vegan Brown Rice Protein Powder
8-12 oz cold, purified water
1/4 - 1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt (optional)

You can adjust to suit your taste but not much is going to make it great, I don’t think. Like I said, it’s certainly not delicious but it won’t make you puke, either. At least, I hope not. If you use yogurt, I would suggest not using a flavored one - it tastes worse! Plain or vanilla is best and will tone down the taste of the HealthyGreens which can be overpowering and although tastes a bit like licorice, is not that wonderful. I think it’s the texture more than anything that makes it that way.
