from scratch friday: green smoothie

Yet another use for my batch of homemade almond milk!

Two weeks ago I made a batch of green smoothie cubes after seeing a few posts on pinterest about them.  

I didn't really follow a recipe, just threw a big pile of kale into my blender with whatever random fruit I had in the kitchen.  This batch had one peach, one mango, one banana, 1/4 cup coconut milk, and a large bunch of kale.  I blended until I had a smooth bright green purée and froze it in ice cube trays. 

Green Smoothie
(serves one)

4 green smoothie cubes

one banana

juice of one orange

4 chunks frozen pineapple

3/4 cup homemade almond milk (or milk of choice)

Blend all ingredients until smooth - add more almond milk to achieve desired consistency. 

Enjoy!

I'm heading to the Indiana State Fair today with one of my oldest friends from NC! So excited for a weekend full of good things: Fair today, farmers' market and open sew tomorrow, canning peaches on Sunday.  Happy Friday :)
