We were served this amazing green smoothie pudding at our . Victoria's daughter showed us how creative you can be with green smoothies and how decadent they can be. Each layer has it's own unique taste and as you can see they look like miniature works of art. This is the perfect creation for a healthy, celebration alternative.
Put 10 clear glasses on tray.
For the bottom layer:
Blend well:
1 cup blackberries
2 apples, chopped
1 lemon sliced with skin
4 sprigs mint
2 cups water
The liquid in your blender will be thin. Turn your blender on lower speed and add 4 heaping teaspoons psyllium powder while blender is running. Stop the blender and quickly pour into glasses, filling each glass approximately one third.
For the middle Layer:
Blend well:
4 cups spinach (or 1 bunch)
2 ripe bananas
3 oranges (peeled, seeded and sliced)
2 cups water
The liquid in your blender will be thin. Turn your blender on lower speed and add 4 heaping teaspoons psyllium powder while blender is running. Stop the blender and quickly pour into glasses, filling each glass approximately one third, on top of the bottom layer
For the top Layer:
Blend well:
2 cups cranberries
7 large pitted dates
1 ripe banana
2 cups water
The liquid in your blender will be thin. Turn your blender on lower speed and add 4 heaping teaspoons psyllium powder while blender is running. Stop the blender and quickly pour into glasses, over two previous layers. The pudding will solidify in a matter of minutes. Decorate with fresh fruit and greens.
Serves 10
Interesting fact: Psyllium is the husk of the seed of the Plantain a wild-crafted wild edible.
Beautiful recipe
I was wondering about the use of psyllium – doesn’t it interfere with the absorption of nutrients in the smoothie ?
