Green Smoothie Recipes and popcicles

Here are some of my latest converts to the greatness of green smoothies. This one happens to be berry pink. Brenna's favorite color. 

    Berry Pink Smoothie

• 1 cup of unfiltered cranberry juice
• 1 1/2  cup of frozen strawberries
• 1 frozen banana 
• 1/2 of a small beet juiced or not depending on your kids
• 1 small lemon, peeled and seeded  
• a hand full of ice cubes
• may need a tsp of  raw honey for the new kids

Put the juice and berries in the blender. Blend until smooth. Next add the frozen banana,lemon and beet juice. Blend.  Add a hand full of ice cubes if too thick. Taste to see if you might need a touch of honey. If so put it in and blend until smooth.  It should be tart and yummy!



We always like to put the leftovers on the Popsicle molds for later.
