Banana-Parsley Smoothie
This is as easy as it gets. Parsley is such a super-food that its worth to find lots of creative ways to have more of it! You will not detect the parsley flavor, I promise!
Prep time: 5 min
Cooking time: none
Serves 1
Ingredients:
2 bananas
5 to 10 whole sprigs of parsley — you can add more to the next one…
a few ice cubes (optional)
one cup — or more – water
Directions:
- Peel and throw the bananas in the blender. Wash the parsley and throw in the blender. Add a cup of water and ice, if using, and turn on the blender. Add a little more water if needed. Blend until totally smooth
- Serve in a glass, check out that gorgeous green color and enjoy!
Note: You need a powerful blender to make green smoothies, one with a 600-watt motor at the very least.

My biggest problem is when to have these smoothies. The thing is I just do not like cold drinks, especially with my breakfast I need a hot one. Again for dinner – I want to eat it and not drink it in a gulp. One of the few reasons why I do not have have smoothies at all….any ideas how to improvise?

I just made the banana/parsley smoothie and am sipping it now. I just wish I had added some of my raw milk insteed of water. Yet, this is still very good. A fresh taste. Thanks for the recipe.
