My first try at this whole green smoothie thing, even though the resulting smoothie is far from green in color. It was a resounding success. My blender impressed me by ripping through the orange like a chestburster alien would through, well, a chest. I followed the recipe here, and I left out the optional flaxseeds (I had my doubts without their inclusion).
After more trips to grocery stores than I care to remember, I have all the required ingredients needed for my Thanksgiving cooking. I’m especially excited about the DIY Irish Cream.
