Last year I reviewed books on blended greens & fruits by Victoria Boutenko. Now I enjoy green smoothies every few days. here’s one that makes use of 3 berries: strawberries, raspberries & blueberries.

Utensils: Cutting board & knife, blender or food processor
Prep. Time: 5-7 minutes
Cooking Time: None
Category: Vegan

Ingredients

8 oz. water or juice or non-dairy “milk”
2 cups lettuce (I used a light green soft lettuce, like butter crunch)
4-5 organic strawberries, washed & stems removed
1/4 cup organic raspberries, washed
1/8 cup org. blueberries, washed
pinch of stevia (optional)

Directions

Place all ingredients in blender or food processor and blend until smooth. The pink color is from the strawberries & raspberries. If you use more blueberries the drink will be darker. Ditto with dark lettuces. This recipe is good to introduce someone to green smoothies because the color is appealing.

Yield: One large serving or two small servings
