Farmer’s Market Fruit Smoothie

For all the brave souls who came out Saturday December 7th in the wind and rain to the Oriental, NC Farmer’s Market and tasted my Fruit Smoothie “Flavor of the Day,” here’s the very fast and simple recipe. There are hundreds of variations on microgreen Fruit Smoothies, but this is one of my favorites and everyone who tasted it loved it! In fact, they couldn’t believe it contained any greens at all!

1 Cup microgreens blend – I used a combination of Black Oil Sunflower for their complete enzymes and protein, Kale, Mustard Greens & Broccoli for their cancer fighting properties and Daikon Radish for liver support – but you can use any single microgreen or any combination of microgreens that you prefer.

1 Ripe banana
1 Mango, peeled and sliced off the pit
½ Medium sized cucumber, peeled
2 Cups cranberry juice, no sugar added
1 Cup plant based milk substitute (I used Almond)

I simply threw all the ingredients into my NutriBullet, hit the “on” button and let it blend for about 20 seconds and – voila! – instant delicious nutrition. You can certainly taste the pungent flavors of the Micgrogreens, but the sweetness of the banana and mango, the tartness of the juice and the creaminess of the Almond milk still makes this smoothie very sweet and delicious.

Note: I use NutriBullet because it’s a remarkable little appliance that does everything as advertised. If you decide to purchase the NutriBullet from HSN I may receive a small commission as an affiliate.
