Green Drink!
It’s been a while since I posted a recipe, not that I’ve stopped baking and cooking. I’ve been busy trying to get the plastering and painting finished in the basement in time for the New Year. Having spent the morning inhaling plaster dust…. despite wearing a mask… I felt I needed something cleansing, so I made what for years I have considered to be one of the most simple, pleasant tasting and healthy drinks: the green drink. I know, in the photo it doesn’t look all that green but let me explain how it’s made.
Pour a cup of pineapple juice into the blender; add a large handful of fresh raw greens: romain lettuce, mixed greens, parsley… whatever you have on hand. Sometimes I add a teaspoon of green tea powder for additional anti-oxidants. Adding alfalfa sprouts will make this drink even more healthy! Today I made it with mixed baby greens with the red leaves, so it turned out a funny colour, but same great taste. Really. Try it.
Actually, I stirred the juice, but by the time I focused my camera and took the shot, the drink had separated… so there it is. It’s a great way to get your greens if you don’t have the time to make a salad.
