I have rarely posted to beetsuite this summer, being occupied with gardening and garden construction. This chard smoothie is a sample of the results of my hard labour.
 |
| Swiss chard |
 |
| Strawberry spinach |
 |
| Mint |
Yield: 1 cup, approximately
Ingredients:
6 fresh chard leaves with stems, each leaf about the size of your palm
1 handful fresh strawberry spinach stems
6 stems fresh mint
1 Kiwi fruit
¼ cup aloe vera juice
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
Preparation:
1. Pick chard, spinach and mint fresh from your garden. Clean the garden produce by washing outdoors in fresh water, thus leaving any livestock, such as ants and spiders, outside to continue their work.
2. Slice or tear chard leaves and stems into 5 c. (2 in.) chunks and place them in a blender.
3. Remove leaves and seed balls from strawberry spinach. Add them to the blender. Discard stems.
4. Remove leaves from mint stems. Discard stems. Place leaves in blender.
5. Peel Kiwi fruit. Slice into rounds and add to blender.
6. Add aloe vera juice and olive oil. Blend on 'High' until the ingredients are pureed.
