Made smoothies for my parents. They liked them. I added green powdered vegetable mix and

blueberries to vanilla yogurt, ground flax seed and milk. They turned out turquoise. Really pretty and unusual to see in food. If I ever set up a fancy table for a summer feast I'm decorating it with turquoise smoothies.

1. Nice.

Sounds very healthy. One of these days I may do a detox, those types of smoothies are used a lot in detox programs.

2. I had a juicer for awhile and one of the ingredients in the homemade V-8 juice that I was trying...

... to make was parsley. it made the most STUNNINGLY beautiful emerald-green juice
that you could imagine, however it was VERY bitter and, because it was so beautiful,
it took me the longest time to learn that a few DROPS were sufficient.

4. Alley makes me smoothies with fruit, oats, all kinds of stuff as a pre-surf breakfast.

I never get that "I'm out of gas" feeling I do get when I blow off a meal, or just choke down a donut and coffee on the run.

Super easy to digest without feeling full, or weighted down.

I am a big fan of turquoise, and will see if Alley can reproduce your recipe.

5. I used about 3/4 of a cup of ground flax

seed. Half of a large container of real vanilla yogurt. 3/4 of a cup of vegetable powder, 1 1/2 cups wild blueberries (frozen but thawed), about 5 strawberries, 2 cups 2% milk. Maybe a tsp of sugar. That was it. The more I stirred it the more teal it got because wild blueberries are blue all the way through. I would not use those big cultivated blueberries. They don't taste good. And maybe add a few blueberries at a time till you get that beautiful turquoise color. It tasted great and was not at all too sweet which I liked.

This will make enough for 3 medium sized smoothies.

6. Cool thanks.

I don't know if we can pull wild blueberries from the local farmers markets, but we will be on the look out.

9. I think you have to get them frozen. Worth the price anyhow.

7. This looks really good

What kind of vegetable powder do you use? I have never heard of it. I make smoothies everyday with greens, carrot, apple and/or beet and frozen berries.. also flax, chia, cinnamon and ginger and coconut oil. I want to quit using so much of the greens every day ( kale, spinach etc) because I don't want an overload of oxalic acid.. but I am not sure how to replace that part of it. Vegetable powder sounds like it might work.

Thanks

8. I'm allergic to oxalis acid...

Makes my mouth feel really weird. I still eat spinach though
