Ok, so there aren’t real grasshoppers in the smoothie, but my kids like to pretend that they are because that makes it more fun to drink. The green color and the grassy smell could fool you though.
I make some version of this smoothie a couple of times a week for my girls and me. We love it because it is packed with superfoods and greens!
Grasshopper Smoothie:
3 cups pineapple or mango 1 1/2 cups plain yogurt 4-5 leaves lacinto (“dino”)kale 1 avacado 2 Tbsp ground flax seed 2 Tbsp chia seed (soak in 1/2 cup water for 20 minutes before adding to smoothie) 1-2 cups water or coconut milk 2 tsp maple syrup
So that’s why you’re all so bright-eyed and bushy tailed! It’s the grasshoppers!
