A Holy Basil Smoothie - Fruit and Veggie Monday

Imgur

The Steem community has so many wonderful aspects that it would be hard to mention all of them right now. But this one, the Monday Fruit and Veggie Challenge created by the beautiful Lena, also known as @lenasveganliving, needs to be shouted from the rooftops! She brings so many beautiful entries together and nurtures everyone along. Try it out!!! A link and more info are at the bottom of the post.

The picture above is a tasty mango - all cut up and ready to eat.
But I remembered @amy-goodrich's smoothies - especially the ones with Holy Basil in them.

Into the garden I went to get some of that good stuff.

A handful seemed just the right amount for the smoothie.

Luckily, I also had a bag of mixed fruit sitting in the freezer right in front. No rearranging necessary.

Pink and yellow guavas and maybe a few grapes.

Into the blender it all went. The soft mangoes first, of course.

And let's add some more goodies!

Chia seeds, Spirulina, some coconut oil and some coconut flakes. Why not? They were there staring at me.

Now, add some water and blend, blend, blend.

And, since I am doing all these crazy selfie challenges right now - here is the entry to the green smoothie drinking selfie challenge for you all :)

Then, the smoothie screamed at me that it is much prettier without me in the picture and so - here are the selfies the green smoothie took of itself. LOL
