Strawberry Daiquiri Smoothie
I was experimenting in my kitchen and when I took a sip, first thing I said was "Oh my!! this tastes like a strawberry daiquiri" The funny thing is the fennel with its licorice flavor makes it taste like it's spiked, what a wonderful surprise, haha!!
NOTE: freeze your pineapple and strawberries overnight. You can buy ground flax seeds or make your own by using a coffee grinder or like I do, grind it in my blender.
Recipe:
In your blender add:
1. 6 oz of cherry juice (when you pick your cherry juice make sure on the label it is 100% organic cherry juice, no sweeteners or other preservatives)
2. 4 oz of organic, fresh squeezed orange juice
3. 2 oz of kefir (if you are not well informed on kefir, i will be writing an entire post on this amazing probiotic cultured food. There is even a simple recipe I will share to make at home kefir, but for now you can buy the organic plain kefir and if the bottle is swollen, it's even better, it is a perfectly fermented food so it should swell.
4. 1 cup of organic kale
5. 2 oganic fennel stems
6. 1/2 cup of organic parsley
7. 1 tablespoon of raw honey
8. 1 teaspoon of ground flax seeds
9. 1 quarter of a small organic beet
10. 1 quarter of a hass avocado, or half of a quarter of a large Florida avocado
11. 1 cup of the frozen pineapple
12. 1 cup of the frozen strawberries
13. 1 whole freshly squeezed lime
I added no ice cubes to this one since the frozen fruit did the job perfectly!
