I tried my hand at "green smoothies" for breakfast because I had been seeing it all over the blogosphere as well as on info-mercials.
I guess I didn't add enough "green" though, because mine turned a brownish color...I know, not too appetizing looking, but trust me it was delish.
I added a handful of baby spinach, 1 small banana, 7 strawberries and a handful of frozen blueberries.
I also added a teaspoon of ground flax seed, a teaspoon of almond powder, some water and 1/4 cup of milk.
Even if it didn't look "green", I'm planning to experiment some more with this.
Hope you have a great weekend.

Lots of my "green" drinks are brown too. Berries (and red leaf lettuce) will do that. Still good though! Yay!
Thanks for the support Sheri, now I know what to look for :)
Take care.

Folks around here seem to be into Kale smoothies....I saw one and it does look green.
I don't think I've ever seen kale in our markets Kirk, though I could be wrong.
Take care.

Haha! Maybe it was the blueberries that changed the color?
My go-to is spinach, frozen strawberries, frozen bananas, soy or almond milk, and a little nonfat yogurt!
I think it definitely had to do with the berries, K :) I like your smoothie combo!
Take care.

Depending on the ingredients--especially blueberries, mine lean to the brown sometimes too. Still yummy and I just pour it into a colored drinking glass. ;-)
smart using colored glasses, Deb!
Take care.
