...I love the color green, but I've never been a fan of green drinks.
ReplyDeletethat smoothie looks so so healthy. I didn't know those flow-ers were named Snowdrops. I saw some at an air BNB last year and even took their photo but didn't know the name.
ReplyDeleteI must admit that I've never tried a green smoothie before.
ReplyDeletesend one over, yum!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever had a smoothie. A gap in my culinary education.
ReplyDeleteLove the snowdrops.
It's been a long time since I've had a smoothie.
ReplyDeleteI make green smoothies, not keto but still yummy!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried a green smoothie. Thanks for the list on how to customize. And the snowdrops are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThere is no way my husband would eat this, sadly.
ReplyDeleteI do this from time to time indeed - easiest way to have an avo for me.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh.... I miss the Schneegloeckchen (haha, snowdrop, so easy to translate!) this year, thanks for sharing the beautiful harbinger of spring!
Thanks so much for the recipe! I am always looking for a good smoothie to try and this one sounds delicious!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks good but I just don't know if I could drink it...LOL The hubster and I do a protein shake every day but have never included anything green! :-) Have a great one! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteNot into smoothies at all.
ReplyDeleteGreen drink never appeal to me but this does have a lot of my favourite things in it
ReplyDeleteWe have a few snowdrops in our garden but they aren't growing as well as usual
Have a great day
Love Chrissie xx
Worth trying ... intriguing!
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
That does sound tasty. I often start the day with a smoothie. Mine, and this may sound strange, usually consists of banana, baby-leaf spinach and almonds. Sometimes I chuck in a bit if vegan yogurt just for good measure.
ReplyDeleteLove green smoothies, lots of cucumber and spinich, spirellina, avocado, pears,the list is endless, but I just add water to mine xcx
ReplyDeleteVery very good article...
ReplyDeleteVeryyyyyy... Helpful
never used the avocado, but have seen it used in cooking for oil
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for snopwdrops 2 days ago, but then................snow came :(
ReplyDeleteNice.
ReplyDeleteI'll pass this on to a friend of mine who uses the Keto diet.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Jan! Sounds excellent!
