Hearty Green Smoothie

BLW from 6 months (omit nut butter until 7/8 months). I was nervous to give peanut and almond butter to Soren but my pediatritian assured me that the earlier the better so I finally became brave and offered it to my son when he was 7-8 months. He was fine and loved it.

Recently I have been inspired by a few Instagram moms whose kids drink fresh juices and smoothies every day, I decided to up my game and start making more smoothies myself.

My kitchen is very small and I often feel lazy dragging the blender out (I use Vitamix) and washing all the veggies but hey, healthy eating deserves a greater effort! ??????.

This smoothie is very satisfying and doesn’t taste “green”, for those of you who are not fans of drinking their greens.

INGREDIENTS:

3 large kale leaves
3 celery stalks
1 apple
1 tbsp of almond butter
1 banana
1/2 cup almond milk
Water and/or ice cubes

METHOD:

Wash and chop all the ingredients and blend on high for 30 seconds if using a Vitamix or longer if using a less powerful blender. Add 1/2 cup of water first and then see how liquid it is. Add more if needed. (I didn’t use ice today).
