Awesome Green Smoothie with Grape Juice Recipe (from Self-Grown Grapes!)
Today I’m giving you my recipe for deliciously sweet green smoothie with home-made grape juice and kale. The grapes that I used for the juice were very tiny red fruits, with seeds (lots of them!), and very sweet — and they came from my parent’s garden (more about this later), so technically they were self-grown (if not by me personally, but by my mom).
You’ll find the recipe below, but first let me ask you – how would you like to grow your own grapes – to make juices, smoothies or perhaps even your own wine? Doesn’t it sound like fun? If it does, why don’t you?
Green Smoothie with Grape Juice Recipe
3 cups grapes
3 kale leaves, without stem
1 large cucumber, peeled if not organic, cut into pieces
1 banana (optional)
1 pear
1 cup water
Remove stems and blend grapes with water on high settings in your blender. Pour the mixture through the strainer to remove the seeds. Rinse the blender container.
Blend all ingredients with the juice on high until very smooth, pour into glasses and enjoy!

3 Peachy Smoothie Recipes, Plus Smoothies as the New Fast Food!
Peaches make a great base for a smoothie because of their texture. They can also be used to add a nice flavor to most fruit smoothie recipes. I love fresh, ripe peaches straight from the tree, but unfortunately these are only available for a short time in the peachy season. In other times of the year, I like to buy frozen peaches and add them to my smoothies.
Have You Have Your GREENS and VEGGIES Today?
Everybody is concerned about protein, fats, carbohydrates.
Especially, if they find out that I’m eating a 100% plant-based, vegan diet. They seem to be concerned (for me) about calcium, vitamin D, omega 3s, and Vitamin B12.
What I want to ask is: Where do YOU get your GREENS???
Dark, leafy bitter greens are the missing element in the Standard World Diet today. Everyone spends so much time talking about meat, fish, dairy, vegan food and raw food, and no one is talking about greens!
Leafy greens are one of the most nutrient dense foods. They seem to have it all: proteins, fats, carbs; antioxidants, vitamins, minerals.
The most important question to ask anyone who is not experiencing the level of health they desire is, ‘Are you eating greens?’ Chances are the answer will be ‘NO.’
The Greenest Smoothie Ever?
I think I may have bought the bunch of the greenest bananas that were ever sold on the East Side of the continental US (specifically, in New Jersey). I wrote a couple of days ago about the Peach Avocado Smoothie that I made and how I laugh at those who say they don’t buy green bananas (or, even worse, sing it).
But here I am. Two days later, and still no ripe bananas. 🙁
So I ended up making a smoothie with some peaches, papaya, avocado, cucumber, plus collard greens and dandelion greens (shown in the photo), and the smoothie turned out quite green, even for my taste. I mean it was okay, but nothing to rave about.
So, does that happen to you and what do you do in such situations (other than closing your eyes and gulping it down as quickly as possible)?
I wrote before about various ways to fix a smoothie that doesn’t taste so great, but what’s your go-to method?
