Macarita

Serves: 2

2 cups swiss chard (2 large leaves and 2 large stems)
1 banana
1/4 cup almonds
2 tsp maca powder
2 dates
2 cups coconut water


Add all ingredients to the NutriBullet Rx Short Cup and extract until smooth. I did 1 minute cycle twice.

Taste Note: Tastes AWESOME
Note: I didn't have coconut water, so I used water. I made it without dates and felt it would have tasted so much better with dates.

Sweet Tropical Punch

2 cups swiss chard (3 stems and 2 and 1/2 large leaves)
1 and 1/2 cup tropical fruit (mango or pineapple or papaya or combination of them)

2 tbsp almond butter
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 cups water


Add all ingredients to the NutriBullet Rx TALL Cup and extract until smooth. I did 1 minute cycle twice.

Taste Note: Tastes AWESOME
Note: The name of the original recipe is called Sweet Papaya Punch. I haven't managed to get organic papaya, so making this with other tropical fruits and calling it as Sweet Tropical Punch. I used 3/4 cup mango (1 mango) and 3/4 cup frozen pineapple for this smoothie. Original recipe called for 2 tsp of cinnamon, I know it would be too much, so I added just 1 tsp of cinnamon, but that itself is too much,  it masked all the other smell and taste, so reduced and noted down as 1/2 tsp, but don't get me wrong, the taste was awesome.
