Adelaide’s Blueberry Blast

I love this smoothie for kids. The color of the blueberries and the sweetness of the bananas make it so my kids have no idea they are consuming so much spinach and kale. My 22 month old says “more blueberry to drink please”.

1c Kale

1c Spinach

1 c fresh or frozen blueberries

1-2 frozen bananas

1c water

2T flax oil

So simple but so yummy!

Hi Robyn,

I’m writting to ask you a couple of questions regarding some health issues I’m experiencing. While I know you are not a medical professional you are very knowageable about being healthy and eating healthy and what your body needs to survive. Let me just start out by saying I have really been through it with Drs., tests, medications, treatments, procedures and theories about what’s wrong and how to treat it. I woke up feeling dizzy on the morning of January 21, 2008, it is now June 5 2009 and it hasn’t stopped since. After 10 drs/specialists, gruelling tests, nasty medications with all sorts of side effects, a variety of treatments and procedures I have been diagnosed with Vestibular Migraine Vertigo. I’ve also been told I have a virus throughout my body that has settled in my ears possibly causing the vertigo, I have TMJ causing intense pains in my temples (possibly from clenching my teeth at night from the stress of all this) and tri-geminal neurolga (which is like a lightning bolt of pain that goes through the left side of my face from my forehead to my tooth), and last by not least, I’m told that my immune system is all out of whack. Oh, and I also have a small hiatal hernia and acid reflux but that’s not related to the vertigo and mirgraines. Anyway, while I’m already a pretty healthy eater I saw a Blendtec demo at the local Costco and upon reseaching their website for info about the blender, I found YOU. I have dissected your website and truly enjoy everything I’ve read. Thank you so much. I just purchased my blender last night and I’m anxious to begin my green smoothies. I’m wondering if you can help me excellerate the healing process by telling me what is the BEST things I can put in my smoothies to help my vertigo, migrianes, immune system defecincies, acid reflux and all over feeling lousy and having no energy everyday. I can barely walk from one room to the next without dizziness, head pain and sitting down to cacth my breath and it’s been like this now for 1 1/2 years!! Again I know you are not a medical professional but I’ve been to them all and they can’t help me so I’m hoping to take everything I’ve read and learned about eating healthy and heal this body of mine. I would LOVE to go one day without being dizzy and in pain with a migraine or head pains of any kind. CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE. Thank you so much. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Have a blessed day. Marie

Those who are blogging the recipe here, instead of emailing it to me, that’s GREAT–but Lala, your email doesn’t show, so you’ll need to email it to me to get credit. (Everyone else, I do have your email addresses printed.) Thanks. I am amassing a wonderful stack of favorite recipes!

Cherries are now available at Costco (yay!). We’ve discovered that they make a wonderful addition to our morning smoothies. We prefer ours more watery, like juice, rather than thick, but the addition of ice would make this recipe more like a “traditional” smoothie. The kids love this one because it’s tarty-sweet.

1.5 c frozen blueberries

1.5 c water
