While I always love to go on an adventure, coming home is great too! The past few days I so missed my green drinks in the morning. While I loved the buffet in the hotel, green smoothies were nowhere to be found! Are you a green smoothie lover too? Here's this mornings yummy drink.
Ingredients (serves 2 for breakfast)
2-3 cups bok choy packed
1 cup papaya chunked
1 cup mango chunked
1 banana chunked
2 cups water
2 tablespoons chia seeds or ground flax seed
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Blend bok choy, mint, and water until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and blend again. Add water if too thick. If you have a high-speed blender, you can throw in everything at once.
- Optional: top with your favorite superfoods like raw cacao nibs or goji berries. Check out the superfood tab in the pantry section for some inspiration.!
Happy blending!

bok choy in a smoothie? that might be a first that i've seen such a thing
Any green can actually be added to a green smoothie. Just as spinach, bok choy is ideal for people who don't love a green taste since you won't taste it at all but it will give you tons of benefits to eat your greens at the start of your day.
I've never tried bok choy before, but from the looks of your smoothie, I would say it might be pretty good. :)
It sure is! Nothing better than to start your day with fresh fruits and vegetables.
Great combo. I've never used bok choy in a smoothie before. Swiss chard and beet greens, but never bok choy. Great idea!
You can use any green in a smoothie, but some add a too green taste for many people. We also often add spinach, kale or chard, or watercress and arugula but these def add a green, peppery taste which will not be for everyone.
Thanks for sharing the taste with us @amy-goodrich. If you don't use too much, you should be able to bury the taste somewhat.
You're Insane Woman!
Sounds and looks Great...:))
Lol... aren't we all a little insane! That's what keeping life interesting! Thanks for your comment, it sure tasted great!
Bok choy in a smoothie? Sounds unique.
Thanks for commenting @ace108. In the green smoothie world bok choy, among other greens such as kale, collard, beet or carrot greens, arugula, and watercress are no strangers. Happy to spread the green smoothie word!
You're welcome. Watercress sounds good.
Nice slightly spicy/peppery taste.
Beautiful, thanks for sharing :)
Please check out my blog and support with a follow back..thanks
Done! Can't wait to see what more you have to share about health. Always on the lookout to learn new things!
Thanks :)
Papaya, mango, banana..I believe it will be definitely yummy :) Thanks @amy-goodrich
You're welcome! I hope that I can serve you one of my smoothie and dishes one day! Would be so nice to meet up with you. Another steemfest like the one in Amsterdam in November would be cool!
It is sad Amsterdam is only a place to taste your smoothie :( I'll think about the next steemfest in Amsterdam. Thank you @amy-goodrich
Missed your comment somehow... Living in Cambodia right now so always welcome here for smoothies and other dishes ;-) Might go to Belgium to visit family during the summer and Finland to visit a friend? So if you are ever close let me know? Where are you from? I'll def let you know if we are in the neighborhood...
