Green Smoothie Baby

This is my beautiful great niece Brooklyn. They were here for a visit this last week. The last day that she was here she kept trying to grab my smoothie from me. I had seen her mom feed her ice cream and other things so I decided to try the smoothie to see if she liked it. Well, she LOVED it! She could not get it fast enough. She got upset if I stopped long enough to take a drink myself. It goes to show that we know at birth what is good for our bodies. Isn't she the most beautiful baby? She is almost 6 months and is already loving the smoothies. BTW, her mom and dad both liked the smoothies a lot too.

Plantain Smoothie

Ok, so I have been doing some research on the herb Plantain. The beauty of this plant is that it grows wild all over this area. Free is beautiful. Everyone I know here has plantain growing in their yard. So this morning, I went out in my yard and cut me some plantain and made a smoothie. I took some pics of everything I put in the smoothie. I put in plantain, frozen strawberries, 2 very ripe bananas, chia seeds, 3-4 dates, and a dash of agave to sweeten it.

This is what plantain looks like.




This only shows one banana, but I ended up putting in another because I wasn't used to the different taste.




Not bad at all. My hubby and niece both liked the flavor. It almost had a coconut flavor in it. Yum!
