Siddeeq's Choco-Cherry Kale Smoothie

Siddeeq’s Choco-Cherry Kale Smoothie

I took a few creative liberties with a recipe my good friend Tom Telford graced me with months ago. 

Tom has been playing the #YDBG for about 3 years now and that’s what happens when the student becomes the teacher, they start bringing new innovative ideas to you.

Tom’s recipe called for only 4 or 5 ingredients and only one blending/juicing apparatus. I had to be a little difficult (and my vitamix is a little under the weather currently) and juiced and then blended (compositing has me less discouraged from letting all that healthy organic material go uneaten).

Ingredients:

½ Bunch of Kale

3 Large Carrots

1 Inch of Ginger

1 Apple

1 tsp Almond Extract

1 Frozen Banana

1 Cup Frozen Cherries

1.5 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

1.5 tbsp Coconut Oil

1 Pinch of Fresh Cilantro

Directions:

Juice the Kale, Carrots and Ginger.

Add juice to Vitamix, add remaining ingredients and blend till smooth, serve and enjoy!
