Produce with Amy

Routine is liberating, it makes you feel in control.”
― Carol Shields

On the eve of August you may find yourself scratching your head wondering how you are going to savor the remaining days of summer. I know that one of the things that I will be sad to say goodbye to – is summer fruit. The fruit bin in our refrigerator is always full of fresh peaches, nectarines, plums, and cherries. I figured what would be a better way to enjoy fresh produce then a green smoothie challenge? Thank you for joining me! The goal of this challenge is to have one green smoothie a day (either for breakfast or another time during the day). We will be incorporating more nutrients into our diet and together we will stay accountable and share recipes and ideas. This is not a fast but a way to increase our intake of greens and fruit. All you need is a blender (I used a regular blender for three years before I invested in a Vitamix) and the desire to be healthy.

To those who are new to green smoothies, my recommendation is always to start simple. My first one was spinach, banana, strawberry, and water. Spinach is naturally sweet and you won’t believe how good it tastes. When I first started drinking green smoothies I found that a frozen banana was key because it gives the smoothie sweetness and makes it creamy. I would buy a couple of bunches of bananas a week and when they got ripe I would peel and toss into a bowl or bag in the freezer. Now I find that I often do not need the banana because I tend to like more greens and less fruit. I suggest that you experiment with your favorite fruit. Over the years I have tried every imaginable combination and often toss in what I have on hand. Frozen fruit works well and makes the smoothie cold (though you can add ice as well). Brenda, my friend and Weight Watchers receptionist often encourages people to throw their greens in the freezer. She says that since she started drinking green smoothies and freezing her greens and fruit she no longer ends of throwing out expensive produce.

If you are interested in my green smoothie story, and how my husband and I started incorporating them into our meal plan after my husband suffered a sudden brain hemorrhage, you may want to read this post. 

I’m a green smoothie “purist” and normally stick with water, fruit, chia seeds, and greens. The chia seeds make it filling and are a great source of calcium, protein, and Omega-3.Though, many of my Weight Watchers members add yogurt, milk and dairy-free milks, and even healthy oils to their green smoothies to help meet their Good Health Guidelines. I do sometimes add hemp seeds, spirulina, and aloe vera juice to give an additional nutritional boost.

The smoothies are a great way to fortify your iron and since the blender breaks down the cell walls of the greens, it makes it easier for our bodies to absorb the nutrients. My husband Mike and I like to drink one for breakfast and find them  filling and satisfying.They give us an important boost of energy in the morning!

If you do not have a high-powered blender I recommend blending up the greens and liquid first and then adding the fruit (cut up in small pieces) a little bit at a time. When you freeze your bananas you will want to slice or break them into small

chunks. This may not be as easy as dumping cold cereal and milk in a bowl, but I promise that it is worth your labor! 🙂 Though, trust me, you may find yourself wanting to upgrade to a Vitamix blender. Many of my friends and Weight Watchers members have been convinced to do so after reading my posts. I saved up for a year to buy mine by wearing a pedometer and putting $1 in an envelope each day that I met my step goal of 14,000 steps. Not only did I work on building a healthy routine in the process, but my Vitamix blender is no an important anchor, or daily reminder, of what I can achieve when I put my heart to it. 

Weight Watchers members may wonder how to count the PP for the green smoothies. Personally, I do not count the PP of the fruit in my smoothies and only count the things I add that would carry a PP value (chia seeds, coconut water, avocado). Though, if you run the smoothie through the Recipe Builder, it will give you a PP value (once a fruit or vegetable is not in its natural state it is easier to over-eat). I always like to mention at my meetings that the danger of smoothies are that they may bypass our bodies hunger signals. However, I do not have this problem with green smoothies. I take a long time to sip my smoothie in the morning and it really satisfies me until I can have a morning snack at around 10:00-10:30. I attribute this to the fact that the smoothies are full of fiber and the chia seeds make them especially filling.

In my shopping list I have included spinach, kale, and turnip greens. I do warn that kale tastes much stronger and more “grassy” than spinach, so I recommend that you a little at a time. Also, if you enjoy the taste of fresh ginger root (I personally could add it to every smoothie I make).

When I started drinking green smoothies five years ago I read all that I could about green smoothie guru, Victoria Boutenko.  I highly recommend her books Green for Life and Green Smoothie Revolution. In her books, Victoria Boutenko stresses the importance of rotating our greens because of the alkaloids found in them. Read more about it here.

When you drink green smoothies for weeks-on-end it is important to rotate your greens. While spinach is my favorite ~ I also enjoy kale, carrot tops, beet greens, radish tops, spring mix greens, dandelion greens, and turnip greens. If you look in the produce section of your local market you will be surprised how many varieties of greens there are. While in the summer I enjoy growing my own, during winter months I will often purchase bunches of beets, radishes, and carrots and lop off the tops to use in my smoothies. (Tip: if they are wilted when you purchase them you can immerse in cold water and they will perk right up).

In this post I will share four weeks of shopping lists and recipes (printable lists at the bottom of the page). I have tried to keep the lists as simple as possible, while utilizing seasonal fruit. The shopping lists (and recipes) are a guide to green smoothie flavor combinations. The amounts of fruit and greens you purchase depends on your personal taste and how many smoothies you will be creating. I would love to hear what your favorite combinations are.

Before I share the recipes that I came up with, I wanted to share the favorite green smoothie recipes of four of my readers who sent their favorite recipes for me to share with you. Maybe you will do the same after our challenge – I would love to do a follow-up post in September featuring reader’s favorites.

Brenda Aldrich is my Weight Watchers receptionist and she has been at goal Lifetime since May of 2011. She lives in Skandia, with her husband, their dog Winston and 3 cats. Winston is always willing to accompany Brenda on her walks as exercise has become essential to helping her maintain her goal weight.

Brenda heard about Green Smoothies for months before finally deciding to try them. While she loves fruits and vegetables, she just couldn’t imagine liquid greens. After hearing from some fellow Weight Watchers members how a green smoothie tamed cravings for them, she decided to try a simple one with spinach, banana, strawberries, blueberries and water and has been hooked ever since. Brenda likes to freeze excess fruit and dark greens. Frozen greens and fruit are perfect for smoothies. This method is helpful when the fruits are not in season ,and she is craving the taste of watermelon in the winter, or when avocados are not on sale.

Brenda’s favorite green smoothie recipe:
*Spinach
*1/2 banana
*1/2 avocado
*1/2 cup blueberries
*1/2 cup pineapple
*8-10 oz cooled Green tea
*Chia seeds
(Brenda said she uses frozen fruit so the smoothie is cold)

Sherene Lehman said this: ” I live in Mt. Pleasant, MI, where we have a small, but wonderful farm market. It is a great source of the freshest ingredients for my smoothies. The best smoothies are made Thursday mornings when I get home from the market. Ideally in a University of Michigan large Tervis Tumbler!

Sherene’ favorite green smoothie recipe:

Green Goddess Smoothie
*1/2 container Key lime yogurt
*1 cup apple juice or pineapple juice, white grape, etc. (something light-colored)
*Few handfuls kale or spinach, or both
*2 cups assorted fruit, including kiwi, honey-dew, pineapple,
*1 Tbs. agave or honey
*Scoop whey protein (optional)
*Ice to thicken
*Blend all and serve.

 

Heather Nayback lives in the U.P. of Michigan where she is a teacher.

She said this about green smoothies:
“I found out about green smoothies from Amy. As a colleague of hers through the Upper Peninsula Writing Project, we attended a training about Holocaust Education together. I was intrigued by her enthusiasm for a Vitamix and her smoothie recipes. I began that same summer using greens from my own garden. Green smoothies are my summer treats, and I try to have them year around now!”

 

Heather’s favorite green smoothie recipe:
*Coconut milk
*Sun butter
*Banana
*1/2 an avocado
*Cinnamon
*Bee pollen
*Kale or romaine
*Handful of ice
(Heather is allergic to peanuts and to spinach, so this is her variation on the Chunky Monkey Green Smoothie from A Journey to Thin. She said that her daughter used to turn up her nose to green smoothies but now demands that Heather shares. Her daughter like the addition of cacao nibs to hers.)

Kristin Smith discovered green smoothies on her quest for better health and wellness last fall. She loves trying new recipes and incorporating local produce into her menus whenever possible. Kristin and her husband live in Milwaukee, and they enjoy hiking, camping, and traveling. When not busy with work as a child psychologist and college instructor, Kristin spends time running, reading, and singing with a community choir.

Here is Kristin’s favorite green smoothie recipe:
*Spinach
*White nectarine
*Banana
*Spinach
*Coconut water
*Flax seed

Ladies, thank you so much for sharing your favorite recipes. I cannot wait to try them. If you try their recipes make sure you give them a shout-out in the comment section or on my Facebook page. 

SUMMER GREEN SMOOTHIE CHALLENGE SHOPPING LISTS

(Printable lists below)

*If you do not enjoy the listed fruit or berries, substitute with your favorite. The amount of fruit and greens you put into each smoothie will vary depending on your personal taste. I recommend that those who are new to green smoothies add a small amount of greens at first and go heavy on the fruit. You will find that the more smoothies you drink the more greens and less fruit you can start blending. If you prefer more fruit in your smoothies, you may find yourself running out during the week and other may find some left that you can incorporate into the next week’s green smoothies.

I suggest that you choose the ripest bananas that you can find. Peel and cut into pieces and toss in the freezer in a bag or bowl. You may also to choose to freeze the other fruit as well.

Week One:

• Spinach (3 ~ nine ounce bags of spinach)
• Bananas (5-7)

• 1 ~ bag of fresh or frozen cherries

• Coconut water (optional ~(regular water works fine but there are many health benefits to drinking coconut water. It can often be found in the Latin food or heath food section of the supermarket. I usually buy one large can per two green smoothies…or a couple liter containers).
• Chia seeds (you may also use flax or hemp seeds)

Week Two:

• 2 (9 ounce bags) of spinach

• 1 Granny Smith apple
• Frozen mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries ~ or similar mix)
• Fresh ginger root
• Cinnamon
• Nutmeg
• Vanilla extract
• 1 can of light coconut milk (often found in the Asian food section.) Divide the coconut milk into 3 servings. I freeze coconut milk to use in green and dessert smoothies and curries.

*Optional Ingredients

• Molasses (used as flavoring in one of the smoothies)
• Coconut flakes (used as a garnish for couple of the smoothies)
• Chia seeds (some people add hemp seeds or flax-seeds)

Week #4:

• Greens (I suggest a combination of greens ~ spinach, turnip greens, kale, chard, carrot tops, beet greens, or spring mix and dark green lettuces) Since the week #4 recipes are for 10 days, you may want to buy enough for the first five-7 days and purchase more mid-week.
• Bananas (plan for ½-1 banana per smoothie, unless you plan to sweeten with honey, dates, or another sweetener)
• Strawberries (fresh or frozen)
• 1 bag frozen mango (or 2 fresh)

SUMMER GREEN SMOOTHIE RECIPES
