You Make Me a Better Person Smoothie

Have I mentioned how much fun I had on my trip to Chicago? If you missed it, check out the Kitchari recipe and my other post (ahem…do I have to tell you there is a 30% coupon code in that post that expires on Sunday). It was a blast at the Kenmore Blogger Summit and I really learned a lot and there was plenty of tasty food too.

I love green smoothies and this one was really good. It had lots of new ingredients in it that makes it extremely healthy. I wish I could remember all the details about each ingredient, but I don’t…just trust me. However, one that that I already knew that was mentioned was that if you are looking to make a small change to organic produce, start with your berries. They hold a lot of the pesticides in and produce with a peel keeps a lot of stuff out (think banana, pineapple, orange, apple, etc) as long as you peel it.

Green Grocer Chicago features organically grown, locally produced food products, and other specialty items. You can find out more about them on their website, twitter, and facebook.

I’ve linked to the ingredients that are a bit unusual. Check them out. I challenge you to try this smoothie or at least add in one of the “new” ingredients.
