For those of you in the United States, the words "green milkshake" might conjure thoughts of the seasonal shamrock-variety. Other than the hue, this recipe has little in common with the fast-food version. Sunshine, bike rides, and outdoor runs have me craving refreshing foods. This green milkshake is a wonderful way to start the day […]

Monthly Archives: March 2011(From the archives.) This wonderful recipe was suggested by my friend Joanna last year. I liked the idea of adding rosemary, fresh black pepper and browned butter to this quick bread base to create a decidedly non-traditional version. The end result of the recipe was wonderful. A few notes: I found that my dough was […] show 10 comments I like the recipe that you have here. I am really impressed. I would like to try this at home. Great job! I find it so tasty!

Yet another recipe to add to my growing collection of them… :) Mmm, I love bread too. It’s good for you, especially when you make your own! It’s amazing how many store offerings have crazy ingredients like HF-corn syrup sneaking into them. Mmm, I love bread too. It’s good for you, especially when you make your own!

shannalee - I too have jumped on the green shake/smoothie bandwagon, and I’m loving it. Kale every day! Hooray!

Hannah - I have this same blender – it’s great, but if you give it something it doesn’t like or it has a hard time blending, it will produce this weird smoky smell… so beware! But it has lasted for a year and a half :)

Gemma - Shannalee, I haven’t moved up to kale yet. I’ll give it a try next week!
That is good news Hannah – thank you! I can stand a bit of a smokey smell if the blender lasts more than a few months.

Mandapants - i make something similar to this- but i add a 1/4 cup pineapple and 1/2 cup mango for a tropical twist! i use peach juice instead of milk (also good for those non-dairy folks out there).. and freeze the fruit so i dont need to add ice. turns out the most lovely color. yummy yummy green shakes!! thanks for this recipe!

Kelsey, from Happyolks - Yum yum. I’ve been adding pureed pumpkin to my green smoothies lately. SO GOOD. P.s your carrot and white bean post from January looks heavenly!

Anita - Do the chia seeds, flax seed oil and wheat grass powder add flavor, or are they included only/primarily for the health benefits?

Gemma - I like your twist on it Mandapants!
Thank you Kelsey! I am looking forward to trying out your pumpkin puree suggestion.
Hi Anita, the flaxseed and wheat grass are primarily for the health benefits. The chia seeds, while beneficial, also add a great texture to the shake. If you haven’t used chia seeds before, I’d compare them to tiny tapioca balls. They suspend in the shake and add something that I enjoy. Great question!
