  • perfect low carb smoothie :)

    OMG I think I may be sold on veggies in the blender ...it still makes me cringe to take a perfectly good veggie and toss it in there but ...the results can be really wonderful ..thanks Fawn!!!!


    my efforts last night resulted in this yummy concoction and I am sorry that I do not have the numbers for you but it is simple and you can work it out for yourself

    for a single smoothie ...

    in the blender toss

    1 fresh raw egg (do not get grossed out if you can not deal with it use the protein powder I guess but the texture will be lost!!!)
    1/2-1 cup (depending on how much you are eating now) fresh perfectly ripe strawberries or raspberries
    1 small cucumber skin and all if not waxed
    1 packet of splenda (optional)
    blend to smooth and fluffy then pour into a glass...now here is where I made this spectacular ....

    drizzle a tsp of good balsamic vinegar on top and stir in so it does not mix just streaks your smoothie with flavor ...garnish with mint and serve

    this was so fresh tasting and good I can not express my joy in words

    Yay!!! I knew you would love it once you tried, Heidi! I can't wait until I move up so I can have berries in mine again.

      That sounds wonderful Heidi! I will have to try it...

      I still swear by the frozen raw cauliflower in smoothies (it was Fawn's smoothies that turned me on to this as well), when it's pureed you don't even konw it's there...really..i swear LOL

        But what I don't understand is why don't you just eat the veggies? Why do you want to squish them all up and drink them?

          I feel like it's an occasional "treat". Veggies get to be like what we HAVE to eat and blending them up with other stuff makes me feel like I'm having something really special now and then.
