Today’s smoothie comes from Perry’s Plate. She calls this one The Morning Smoothie (for people who don’t like green smoothies); but I’m calling it “Fruit and Veggies” since it includes strawberries, blueberries, carrots and spinach. I followed this one pretty close to the original because it looked close to yesterday’s.
After a first sip, I added a little honey because it tasted too tart but I should have continued tinkering. I should have added more honey or included a banana or some yogurt or just made yesterday’s smoothie again!
Instead I poured it into a glass and took a photo. I tried to drink it but after a few more sips I was just not enjoying it. I had to ultimately return it to the blender and add some yogurt (about 1/3 cup) which made it drinkable for me. I think ultimately, I just don’t like pomegranate juice, it’s too intense. This might have been better with orange juice or blueberry juice, too.
This one is not a keeper for me; by the time I am done adapting it, it won’t look anything like the one at Perry’s Plate. It’s a shame, really, because the colour is so pretty.
