Another mix-up & a recipe

O.K., so the Morselist did it AGAIN!

This time it wasn’t Cayenne instead of Cinnamon -remember my post- it was Arugula instead of Spinach.

Normally, I would enjoy either, say, for example, in a salad or side dish, but I was making a MORSELIST POWER GREEN SMOOTHIE for breakfast and CRAVED Blueberries!

Lately, I’ve been adding greens to my smoothies- parsley, spinach, avocado, even kale, just to boost the fiber, calcium and nutrients.

Well, this morning, I made a MEGA Morselist Green Smoothie with

gorgeous ripe organic blueberries

So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk

Now Foods Chia Seeds

Now Foods Flax Seeds

Nutiva Hemp Seeds

Living Harvest Tempt Hemp Protein Powder

and a Big Bunch of Earthbound ARUGULA (thinking it was Spinach)

Now, I LOOOOVE Arugula…one of my FAVORITES in a simple salad…I can eat with just a tad of Walnut Oil or Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) and I’m satisfied. That’s how much I love it. HOWEVER, arugula has a very distinct nutty flavor and can overpower other tastes. Sweeter tastes, like the blueberries I was craving this morning.

After I blended all my ingredients in my awesome Blendtec Blender, I sat down and took a BIG GULP! Note: NOT a sip and WOW!  Was I surprised at how much my smoothie tasted like liquid arugula.

Perhaps during the afternoon, I would have enjoyed OR maybe this morning, it would have been OK, if I hadn’t been craving a sweeter BLUEBERRY Smoothie.

Alas, I HATE waste, so I gulped it all down to the last drop, but not fully enjoying the way I like to enjoy my meals.

One could argue:

Cayenne/Cinnamon both red…

Spinach/Arugula both green…

Morselist needs stronger -thicker glasses!

Please share your mix-ups this week…not that you’d have many! 🙂

And, for the record this smoothie recipe with SPINACH is very sweet and Delish!!!
