No-Fruit Raw-Chocolate Live Green Smoothies… Two Delicious Recipes Great For When You’re On-The-Road

Boy, was I both surprised and delighted when I discovered how well fresh spinach goes with chocolate; or rather… raw cacao. Parsley goes great with it as well. But spinach is truly brilliant, because it adds no flavor whatsoever, only an exquisite taste of “freshness”. Added to nutrient-rich raw cacao… what a wonderful pairing!

These Live Green Smoothie recipes are great for any time, but especially handy when you’re traveling because the only fresh produce that’s required is the spinach. Everything else you can pack in your bag. And I’ve given you two different options you can make — one light, refreshing, and still creamy (the protein in the spinach does add a creamy quality); and  the other even creamier yet (“milkier“, really… that’s the quality hemp seeds add), complements of the protein and abundant essential fatty acids contributed by the hemp seeds.

VERY INTERESTING. SPINACH ADDS NO TASTE. TASTES RATHER WATERY COMPARED TO A REAL SMOOTHIE WITH ADDED SOY MILK BUT THEN IT WOULD NOT BE ALL RAW. I WAS GOING TO ADD SOME ALMOND MILK BUT THAT HAS CURDLED ON ME.:-{
I ADDED SOME GROUND CHIA SEEDS SINCE I DO NOT HAVE ANY HEMP SEEDS BUT I WILL GET SOME TOMORROW.

Sorry to hear your almond milk curdled on you… did it just spoil? I’ve never had it curdle when I make it. Maybe it has something to do with soaking the almonds too long?
I wouldn’t recommend adding soy milk to the smoothies, but then I am biased against any processed soy product. Fresh nut or seed milk is best… although I usually use only spring water. You can also make a very nice pumpkin seed milk without soaking any seeds. Raw pumpkin seeds are far more inexpensive than raw almonds. :-)
