Today I'm sharing the secret recipe for my delicious Rocket Fuel Green Smoothie which I enjoy daily. If you're looking for incredible energy, glowing skin, your ideal weight and to vibe high… then this one is for you!
Rocket Fuel Green Smoothie
(Rotate the greens you use in place of the spinach – KEEPING the romaine, celery and parsley/cilantro. Also you may rotate the fruit you use, but always KEEP the lemon, & ginger & the banana which gives it body and cancels out any bitter taste of the greens).
Makes Four 16 oz servings. I drink a 32oz serving/day
2 cups water
1 heart romaine
1 cucumber
2 stalks celery chopped
HUGE handful spinach (or broccoli, kale, chard, asparagus, dandelion – or a combo)
1/2 bunch cilantro or parsley
1 apple chopped
1 pear chopped
1 banana chunked
2” piece fresh ginger root
1 lemon peeled, chopped
stevia or dates to sweeten to taste (optional)
Add the greens and water to (a high speed ideally Vitamix) blender. Blend til smooth. Add 1/2 the fruit. Blend. Add rest of fruit/remaining ingredients. Blend.
Please share your own valuable thoughts, insights and questions on the smoothie or on a plant-based holistic lifestyle in the comments below.

Perfect for St. Patty's Day - & every other day of the year!
Rich. Creamy. St. Patty's Day decadence…
That won't weigh us down the next day! In fact, this jar of deliciousness is an ultimate uplift to our body, mind & spirit. Breakfast, lunch, snack or dessert, Mint Chocolate Chip Supreme is so yummy we'll be making it long after St. Patty's Day's gone.
While our tastebuds revel in crazy deliciousness we'll feel even more amazing knowing this sweet treat is brimming with …
The power of Chlorophyll (!) … which aids in gastrointestinal problems, promotes formation of hemoglobin and red blood cells, treats bad breath, detoxifies toxins that cause cancer, benefits the assimilation of calcium while balancing other trace minerals to rebuild, replace, and exchange with new tissue, fights infections and possesses bacteriostic properties that kill harmful bacteria and antiseptic properties that kill germs by strengthening the tissues.
Easily assimilated plant protein from avocado which contains all the amino acids set for our metabolism to assemble into complete proteins. This takes a load off our pancreas from wasting cancer cell fighting proteolytic enzymes for breaking down meat proteins.
Natural vitamin E, avocado's powerful antioxidant that helps prevent cancer. Synthetic vitamin E can be toxic.
Avocado's ability to help the liver manufacture glutathione, considered the master antioxidant by health experts. Glutathione refreshes & recycles spent antioxidants from other sources.
Master mineral magnesium, involved with over 300 metabolic processes & abundant in avocado. Two masters in one tasty shake! Not bad.
Lutein, vitamin E and monounsaturated oleic fatty acid (which improves heart health & lowers blood pressure) all provided by, you guessed it, the avocado!
Brain function improvement. Did you know avocados are a close 2nd to blueberries for promoting brain health, according to Dr. Steven Pratt, author of Superfoods Rx: Fourteen Foods Proven to Change Your Life?
Health-promoting flavonoids and poly-phenolics, such as lutein, zeaxanthin, beta and alpha carotenes, from the banana, which act as free radical-gobbling antioxidants.
High vitamin C content, most known for its infection-fighting properties, again from our friend banana.
467 mg of potassium from the banana, important for controlling our heart rate and blood pressure.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) from the banana, providing around 28% of what is needed daily to help prevent anemia and coronary artery disease.
Fiber in abundance from the avocado, chia & banana helps keep our digestive system regulated.
Magnesium in the banana helps strengthen our bones and protects our heart.
An adequate amount of copper from that one banana to keep up the production of red blood cells.
And then there's the Chia Seed (Read hereto see some of it's amazing bennies)!
Recipe for Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothies (Serves 2)
*Bonus Recipes for Mint Chip Ice-Cream & Pudding at end!
Ingredients:
1/4 ripe avocado (or sub a Tbsp coconut oil)
1/2 reeeeeaaally ripe frozen banana
2 Tbsp mint flavored liquid chlorophyll(chlorophyll has great detoxification power & should be implemented gradually. Feel free to substitute peppermint extract or a handful of mint.)
2 Tbsp cacao powder (or carob powder)
vanilla powder to taste (or vanilla extract)
a touch of sea salt to taste
stevia or your favorite sweetener to taste
2 Tbsp white chia seeds (I don't recommend using black chia seed in this as it can have a stronger thickening action that's a bit too viscous for this application. However, if it's what you've got on hand try starting with just 1-2 tsp. The black chia does vary in it's properties from brand to brand so perhaps yours will work fine. I recommend Chia Seed from The Chia Co.)
4 cups fresh nut milk (more or less depending on your thickness preference. Filtered water works surprisingly well too. Feel free to add a few ice-cubes in place of some of the liquid on warmer days for even thicker shake consistency)
Cacao Nibs,reserved for garnishing (optional)
Method:
Nothing to it! Throw everything except the cacao nibs into a Vitamix and blend. Garnish with the cacao nibs and enjoy 🙂
*Feel free to pump it up with a handful of greens &/or your favorite green powder (or even some maca) like I do. Sometimes I'll sub additional chia seed if I'm out of avocado and it's just as creamy and delish.
If you're in the mood for Pudding: use 1 (or 2) whole room temp banana, 1/2 (to 1 whole) avocado, omit the chia, and scale the nutmilk waaaaaay back, adding just a touch of liquid to get the Vitamix moving- by using the tamper you may find you don't need any liquid at all.
Mint Chip Ice-creamyou ask? Of course! Simply blend 2 frozen bananas, a little stevia, 1-2 Tbsp cacao & mint extract using the tamper to move things along in your high speed blender (Vitamix recommended). Yummy!! So many options 🙂
Are you Irish? If so, Happy St. Patrick's Day to you!!
