Hi what would be a fabulous green smoothie recipe to convert friends over. Something quite sweet with romaine lettuce I thought. Maybe frozen banans, nut/seeds (not good food combination, but that comes later), dates, mango, maybe vanilla pod. Choccie smoothies are heavenly, yes, but I don't want to keep everyone awake all night!

rosemary - I just searched "green smoothie" the Recipes and Food Preparation forum and found some interesting ideas there...

My website: The Coconut Chronicles

Apples, strawberries, cilantro, some lemon juice, and if it's not sweet enough for you, a little agave.

You may already have these recipes, as they were the ones that were introduced in Boutenko's "Ode to Green Smoothies".

Two years ago I used to eat the strawberry-banana-romaine smoothie a lot. I've simplified the smoothie to just this:

6 bananas
6 strawberries

I don't add water.

Thanks. My brother is coming over this afternoon, and I'm gonna make him a smoothie. I'll put dates in it too so it's good and sweet! I'm gonna give him my spare blender if all goes well!
