What makes our Purple Rain Smoothie special?
Calling all smoothie lovers, this purple rain smoothie was:
Creamy
Well Blended
Nutritious
Tasty
Rewarding
Sweet and Savory
Healthy
Delicious
I remember the day I blended this smoothie for the first time. It was autumn and I was a beginner in all things smoothies. Actually this had been the most complex smoothie I’ve blended up to that point.
I was literally using everything I could find in my friends’ fridge. We were staying at some friends for a few days and they had an amazing fridge packed with all kinds of fruits and veggies; and even fresh and frozen berries of all kinds and colors. They were kind enough to let me borrow some of their plants so I made a smoothie using all the veggies I could find (and match together in my smoothie) plus a few of those berries.
Let’s add more veggies to our smoothies!
To tell you the truth, it felt exciting but also a bit scary to add celery to a smoothie, top it with fennel and finish by adding avocado or bananas. I didn’t had too much experience with smoothies at the time, so it was somehow ok to be in doubt.
Questions were popping in my head: What if my smoothie won’t taste right? Will I be able to blend in the celery? Will my wife like it? These were just some of the questions that I had, but I knew I have to follow my instinct. In the end, my smoothie turned out great and I ended-up using celery and fennel in many other recipes.
If you want to make yourself a smoothie that’s loaded with healthy ingredients (including strange ones like celery and fennel), I suggest to open that fridge right now and get to work.
Enjoy your smoothie journey!
