You know how everyone’s been on a “green” juice or smoothie kick recently? Well, count me in. I’m a sucker for drinking my vegetables.
I don’t own a Vitamix or a BlendTec like the rest of the food blogging world (I wish!). I have a little blender that I bought from Costco. Sure, it may not be as powerful, but it gets the job done with a little bit of shaking and stirring. It even ground up the spinach leaves to disappear into the smoothie! That’s all I ask.
As for the little dots in the pictures, it’s nothing other than chia seeds. I found them at Trader Joes and have been throwing them in everything– smoothies, bars, yogurt, cereal… they’re great! They don’t taste like anything, they just add a little texture.
I hear there’s a technique and art to making airy, light smoothies. I still have yet to learn any of it because my method of “throwing everything into the blender and pulse vigorously” works for me.

Hi- I was told that you need to grind the chia otherwise they just “pass through” your system. Maybe take a look into that- they are too expensive to go to waste!!!!
