Summer Green Smoothie

My daughter's friend visited us and she wanted to try some green smoothie. I specially created this recipe just for her. She couldn't taste all the greensexcept celery! lol.

 Monday Night Green Smoothie-  1 cup frozen mango, 1 banana, hand full of kale & spinach, 5 baby carrots, 1/2 stalk of celery, 1 whole orange, 1 cup of ice. Blend for 30 seconds.

 The Benefits of eating Kale: low calorie, high in fiber, zero fat. High in iron, high in Vitamin K. Filled with powerful antioxidants. Kale is a great anti-flammatory food. Kale is high in Vitamin A, Vitamin C. Kale is high in calcium and a great detox food.

VitaMix Wet Container 32 & 64 oz

I have been using Vitamix 750 for the past two weeks. I love that now I can make my own smoothie and sorbets and even make Startbucks's Frappaccinos! However, the container (64oz wide bottom) that came with the blender is way to big to handle a smaller job, so I decided to buy a 32 oz wet container to go with my new Vitamix. I am so glad I did!! I just received it today and I make a 2 cups of smoothie using this smaller container. I don't hear the horriable motor running sound anymore. Here are my videos and pictures.
