These lovely Christmas Green Smoothies came to life when I needed to use up a few ingredients. I had 4 leftover fresh palm cabbage stalks that I wanted to add to this lovely cranberry based smoothy. So, I created these lovely smoothies!

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients!

Recipe: For 2 smoothies

Ingredients:

1/2 cup ( 62 gr) frozen cranberries

2 cm fresh peeled ginger

4 smaller stalks palm cabbage, hard core removed (home-grown) (also called cavolo nero or black kale) I

1 juicy orange, peeled & deseeded

500 ml water

1/2 peeled banana if you like it sweeter! I added this!

Step 2: Blend, Sip & Enjoy!

Place all ingredients in this order into your Vitamix & place fitted tamper & lid on. Blend on high-speed until it is fully mixed, using the tamper to push ingredients into the running blades. Taste. You can taste the cabbage, a hint of cranberry & a small kick from the ginger! Pour into 2 lovely large smoothy glasses & enjoy with a thick colorful straw! Yum!
