Yankee Dandy Smoothie

We tested a few new smoothie recipes this last winter to maximize the vegetables in the caterpillar tunnel. We had baby beets and greens, plus baby carrots and tops, some kale, and collared greens, too. We coupled that with some of our baby ginger, we harvested last fall and the 2024 batch of maple syrup, and boom—a healthy elixir that tastes super fresh.

Ingredients

• 1 baby beet (peeled and chopped)
• 1 carrot (chopped)
• 1 bunch of beet and carrot tops
• 1 bunch of kale and collard greens (optional)
• 1 baby ginger chunk
• 1 dash of 1808 Maple Syrup
• 3 tablespoons of plain yogurt
• 4-6 ice cubes
• sparkling water

Instructions

1. Combine ingredients into a Bullet blender or equivalent
2. Adjust ingredients to get the right consistency - usually more ice and sparkling water to achieve the right consistency
3. Enjoy

Notes

What's great about smoothies is you can add whatever you have to it. We sometimes add a banana or berries to the mix. The important thing is to use a lot of greens. You can get all your vegetables daily in one delicious drink.
