Winter Recipes from The Green Smoothie Bible The Saturday Evening Post

]]> “Winter produce can certainly present a challenge compared with the abundance of summer fruits. But it also can be a time for creativity when it comes to green smoothies,” says Kristine Miles, author of The Green Smoothie Bible. “Ginger and warming spices like cinnamon can be used. Nut milks, ginger, and spices can add a more filling and warming element to a winter green smoothie. By the same token, use of ice and frozen fruit is best avoided given the weather is cold enough as it is!”

Tip: If you’re new to green smoothies, Miles recommends that only 10 percent of your smoothie be greens (spinach is a good beginner’s green because of its mild flavor) and gradually increase them to 40 percent as you grow accustomed to the flavor.
