Green Smoothie Breakthrough!

Hoorah! At last my long hoped for green smoothie breakthrough. For years now I have been in search for the very best tasting, best for you, easiest to make smoothie in the world. After lots of experimentation I narrowed it down to kale and pineapple. Problem: one of my key ingredients was intermittently failing. When I pick a fresh pineapple, the first thing I look for is the typical evidence of whitish mold on the bottom (yes, I am not one of the lucky ones with fresh fresh pineapple available, ie Hawaiians, etc.). Sometimes there just is no juicy sweet pineapple available and alas! I have moved to pineapple in a can! It is consistently sweet and comes with pineapple juice all of which gets dumped into the blender. One of the other very nice things: I don’t have to eat the pineapples within a few days, for fear of they’re going bad.
So here are the delicious ingredients to toss into your high-speed blender (I prefer k-tech’s blender, b/c it’s height fits under the cabinets):
20 oz. pineapple
1-2 tbl. flax seed
1 banana (optional)
1 bunch of lacinato kale, de-stemmed (or other kale, I find lacinato stores the longest)
water as needed to get it to whirl and come out as thick or watery as you like
It is Delicious!! Enjoy!
