This is the Swiss Chard smoothie that I wanted to add to the multi-greens smoothie but didn’t. At the time, it seemed more important to get through the ripe bananas then continue with the smoothie experiment. This is a good smoothie, but in a way, I wish I’d mixed in grapes rather than the bananas. Oh well, maybe next time I’ll cut the grapes and simply go bananas!
Recipe:
- 6 young fresh Thai Coconut water ice cubes
- About 1 inch ripe pineapple
- 2 bananas
- Bowl garden Swiss chard (washed and ready)
- ½ cup water.
Pile everything in starting with the soft fruit. Blend for 60 seconds (or more) and serve.
You’ll notice that you’ll get a bit more than a quart. Lori got to enjoy the extra. Swiss chard is a pretty smooth green which mixes well with the banana. The young fresh Thai coconut ice cubes give it a really fresh flavor that you don’t want to leave out. The pineapple seemed to be a bit like filler. But it was good RIPE filler.
This will be a great recipe to revisit come mid winter. I’m not looking forward to buying greens again, but, doesn’t look like I’ll have much of a choice before too long.
Take some time to put this one together, you won’t be disappointed.
Enjoy!
