A Savoury Blended Salad

Way too fascinated with the concept of the “blended salad,” I just had to try another recipe, and this time I wanted to try something more savoury. Boo, the link for where I got this recipe doesn’t seem to be working but I entered it below anyways for the day it decides to work again. Here is what was in it:

Salad (recipe):

spinach

lettuce

yellow pepper

1/2 cucumber

avocado

green onion

garlic clove

soy sauce

water

s&p

Afterthoughts

Was a bit worried about the outcome of this, but it tasted good and was incredibly filling (after eating one bowl). Yep, was pretty much like a soup --- thick and creamy, but raw and refreshing.

I had this the next day. The recipe yielded so much there wasn’t any way I could finish it in one sitting. Day-old blended salad tasted alright but next time, I would halve the recipe and eat it fresh.

Green Gorilla Blended Salad

As stated in the last entry, I was getting a bit tired of salads and I needed to trick myself into being interested again! Henced, the ~blended salad~ (a bold concept)!

Salad (recipe):

5 oz lettuce

5 oz spinach

1/2 avocado

1 banana

(I added 1/2 orange and some pomegranate seeds just cos my Dad handed them over to me)

Afterthoughts:

Ok, I suppose it is also considered to be a smoothie or a soup, but it contains way more greens than fruit, so to me, it’s a salad. Even Dr. Fuhrman called it a salad and wrote an article saying why it is beneficial to eat your salads in a blended form.

With all of the greens, it definitely tasted very healthy (if you know what I mean). It was good with the additional fruit. I would rate it 7/10.

I love that my parents got a Vitamix and are sooo into health! We all had this for lunch and talked about smoothies and healthy foods for about an hour. Fun times!
