Before you think I’ve gone rogue and started looking to King Harper for smoothie tips, today’s recipe comes from Harper’s Happenings. Harper’s Favorite includes spinach, blueberries, “mixed fruit” (strawberries, papaya, mango, pineapple), and other standard stuff.
I didn’t have a bag of mixed fruit so I just upped the blueberries and threw in some mango and raspberries. Even though the original post was honest that the colour would be and icky brown, I was determined to give it a shot. My blender choked on the amount of frozen fruit so I did add a bit more almond milk.
My variation:
3/4 cup blueberries
1/2 cup mango chunks
1/4 cup raspberries
1 banana
3/4 cup almond milk
2 cups spinach
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp ground flax seeds
The result? A ridiculously tasty dark purple smoothie! Keeper!
With “Harper” in the title, I was looking for “evil” in the ingredient list.
