I'm spending a week at my mom's home in Utah, and am impressed with her and my sister Kristin's daily morning smoothie- of vegetables! So I asked mom to show me how she makes one, and here it is!
Color: Algae.
Texture: Pondscum.
Flavor: Pondscum.
I'm not a fan. I'll take my veggies raw, thank you very much.
Just a disclaimer- it apparantly was the Italian parsley, kale, and collard combined with pineapple that gave it the bitter flavor I could barely gulp down. Krisin made a different one the next day with a watermelon base that was more tolerable. Perhaps if I stick with spinach and fruit it will be sweet enough for me.

I think your mom sent out that recipe a while back. I remember my mom giving it a try and she too could barely gulp it down! Looks too slimey ;p
Looks pretty thick, but you probably get all your veggies in one glass!

Again, go with extra veggies in egg whites for a yummy egg whites omlette. The posibilites are endless and you get your protein too!
I think it is better with fruit... maybe too many calories, but if you make one with cottage cheese (tons of protein), a little fruit, throw in some fresh spinach leaves (not enough to make it green) you get lots of good nutrients without the pond scum flavor.
