Smoothies are some of my favorite concoctions to make with our farm veggies and fruit. They’re quick, easy, and provide an array of vitamins and essential nutrients. I have tailored the following smoothie recipe to highlight the leafy greens we grow on the farm and the honey from our bees. I hope you enjoy it!
Apple-Berry Smoothie Recipe
- 1 cup blueberries (frozen or fresh)
- 1 large apple, cored
- 2 cups Swiss chard or kale
- 10 medium strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 8 ounces unsweetened soy or almond milk
- 1 table spoon honey
Start by adding the liquid to your blender, followed by the soft fruit. Add the greens to your blender last. Blend on high for 30 seconds or until creamy.
