St. Patrick’s Day Smoothie

March 16th, 2010 in Health, party time, recipes

When you marry a boy from the Brown Family you are forced to cook something quite disgusting. After cooking it two years in a row while being pregnant and getting sick due to the smell, I said…enough! Corned Beef. Ugh it is gross, it makes my house smell gross and I refuse to eat it. So, instead, I pick up some corned beef at the deli and let my husband know it’s in the fridge if he would like it.

I DO like making something that smells WONDERFUL to eat for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, and this smoothie is it!

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups of spinach

1 bunch of kale

1 lime

(If, at this point, you are saying to yourself, “Heck no, Vanessa,” then don’t do it!  Or maybe you don’t have a juicer or just don’t believe me.  Then, will you put at least ONE cup of spinach and 1 1/2 cups of frozen green grapes? )

2 bananas

3 kiwis

2 Yoplait Key Lime Pie Yogurts

2 cups of Pineapple Juice

2 trays of ice

Directions:

In a juicer juice the lime, spinach and kale, set aside. (If you were one of the ones that said “heck no,” then skip this step and you will just blend the spinach and grapes in with the next step.)

Blend together the pineapple juice, banana and kiwi. Then add in the juiced kale/spinach/lime and yogurt.

Divide this mixture in half. Add a tray of ice to each half and blend.

Adorn with a four leafed clover from a Kiwi Slice.

This makes 4 very large smoothies.

    “When you marry a Brown Boy…” totally makes you sound racist, haha!

    If I had any form of blender, juicer, I would so make this. But I don’t so I am sad.

    You know brisket and corned beef are the same part of the cow? Crazy huh, seeing as corned beef is nasty and brisket is amazing, especially my mom’s brisket!

    This is healthy!! I don’t do healthy shakes! :)

    My mom used to make corned beef and cabbage every year. It was HORRIBLE. I can’t eat corned beef anymore.

    I’m very sad don’t enjoy corned beef. It is one of my favorite meals! =) Tell Tyler to come to our house tomorrow! We’ll have REAL corned beef (minus the cabbage) and soda bread.

    This shake sounds positively gross. I will not make it but if you ever make it for me, I promise I will at least try it. =)

    I love that Cameron got all dressed up for the smoothie video! I believe Abby when she says it’s good. I would try it, Sam I Am!
    Good job videoing with one hand and cutting with the other!

    oooh, we LOVE corned beef at our house, though I’ve never tried to cook it (always leave that part up to my mom). This smoothie looks really tasty!
