I’ll bet you never thought about that combination. Just so happened that I got to shop at Costco this last weekend and wouldn’t you know it, but they had Strawberries, Grapes and Spinach all at great prices. I think the 1 lb. spinach containers are the best price in town, but I don’t think they move as many as Whole Foods for I always have to carefully pick through the Costco spinach to pick out the bad pieces and I don’t have to do this with the Whole Food packages. Is it older? Or, does Whole Foods just care for it better? I don’t know. I guess you get what you pay for.
The best part about this smoothie is that tartness of the grapes add to the essence of strawberries which give a richness to the creamy spinach based blend that ultimately stands out from many of the other green smoothies that I’ve made. This one, I do have to say, is worth trying.
Happened to have the camera with me this morning when I threw this one together.
As you can see, this smoothie includes
- About 12 medium sized strawberries
- Good handful of red seedless grapes
- 3 dates
- ½ lb baby spinach
- 1 cup coconut milk (not raw, with vanilla flavor)
- 1 probiotic
When stacked in the blender they really fill it up!
The end result is something that’s easy to swallow and will make you want to come back for more! Got to love this stuff.
Now for the final product – my signature quart of green smoothie.
Yum.
