I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

This morning I was rather brave and made something I had never tried before.  A Rainbow Swiss Chard smoothie.  Holy canolies Batman, it is possible to drink your vegetables… and like them too.

I felt like I should have been standing in a tree house in Berkeley while I was drinking it, or at the very least REI.  Swiss chard smoothies have a very earthy taste to them.  For a second there I thought I was sipping roasted beets.  It was good.  Just different than the typical Jamba Juice smoothie flavors I’m used to.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rainbow Swiss chard, well packed
  • 2 cups strawberries, frozen
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 cup Cranberry Juice

 

Directions

Toss everything into a blender and hit the smoothie button.  Blend until nice and smooth.  Drink up and enjoy!

So, Mavis wants to know: Do you drink smoothies?  What is the most unusual combination of ingredients you have tried in your smoothie?
