High-energy fruit smoothies

I’ve been enjoying my new 3 horsepower Blendtec blender, experimenting with smoothies that contain green leafy vegetables. This is a valuable idea I picked up from Dr. Fuhrman, the author of Eat to Live .

Here are some recipes I’ve developed recently (ingredients are measured in grams), except the liquid measure (in cups). I use the Tanita KD160 Kitchen Scale with a tare function, which makes things easier.

Pinky’s Delight: 1/2 c soymilk + 70g flowering kale, 71g orange, 259g watermelon, 90g frozen strawberry, 29g medjool dates = 292 calories

Walepa’s Wonder: 1/2 c soymilk + 200g red leaf  lettuce, 257g watermelon, 110g frozen strawberry, 200 papaya, 17 medjool dates = 327 calories (makes about 32 ounces).

Pomwalepa Power Potion: 1/2 c pomegranate juice + 359g watermelon, 289g red leaf lettuce, 19g noor dates, 136g frozen papaya, 12g walnut = 412 calories (makes about 32 ounces).
