As you can see from the title of this post, I am all about the greens lately. Not that I wasn’t before, but you know what I mean. I was inspired to try some different greens based on what was available at the farmers’ market this week.

It seems like hydroponic farming is becoming more popular these days just from what I’ve seen at local markets. I don’t know much about it, but I bought these mizuna greens from a farmer who was selling his first batch of hydroponic greens. He assured me that they are 100% organic. The mizuna is supposed to be a Japanese mustard green, but I didn’t find it very spicy at all. I washed up the entire bag to put in a green smoothie:

I then got the hemp milk ready by simply blending 1/4 cup of hemp seeds with 4 cups of water. Honestly, what could be easier than making homemade hemp milk? It goes from this:

To this in about 30 seconds:

That’s the first of three blends I do to make my morning green smoothie. After making the hemp milk, I add my frozen fruit. In this one, I added a frozen banana, frozen blackberries, frozen peaches and frozen mango. I then just piled the greens on top:

This is what it looks like after the second blend:

We are getting there, but now it’s time to add the “goodies.” <——- That’ what my Grandma used to call the toppings you would add to a salad like nuts or onions or whatever. Here’s what I include in most of my morning green smoothies (maca powder, flax meal, cacao powder, prunes, vanilla, tofu, ZSweet and chia seeds):

One more final blend, and the smoothie is ready. This one was absolutely delicious…cold and refreshing without being too green at all.
