Razz Parsley Smoothie

Ever since I watched Hungry for Change I've wanted to use parsley and cilantro because of their cleansing properties. (Click here for my thoughts on the movie.) So I finally got around to buying a parsley plant, and I used some in a smoothie because: if you can mix spinach and fruit...then you can mix parsley and fruit!
I made this up as I went, so that's how the recipe is written, but I think there's a better way to do it:
  1. Don't have your raspberries, peaches, and juice ALL be frozen. It takes a lot of blending and forking to break it down. Frozen peaches are the hardest of those 3. This is also the reason I added whole milk.
  2. Blend the parsley leaves first with a little water (or milk) so they're as small as possible. You can't taste the parsley if you just swallow the smoothie, but blending the parsley should eliminate the need to chew anyway.                                                                                                                       PS: You can always use less parsley

Razz Parsley Smoothie

  • 1/3 c. + 1/4 c. frozen raspberries
  • 6-8 tbs white grape juice, frozen
  • 1 1/2 peaches, frozen 
  • 1/4 cup canned coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup whole (cow) milk
  • 1/2 c. plain yogurt
  • 24 fresh parsley leaves
Blend and drink!






 I've started me a little garden. ; ) Left to right: aloe vera, carrots, basil, and parsley. Don't know if it will work, but this is what I'm trying with the carrots.



Brrrr, closing my window at night is no longer convenient. =(
