How to make a quinoa smoothie: Honeydew and peach quinoa smoothie recipe:



Ingredients

1 Cup Water (if you are drinking this straight away substitute one cup of water for ice)

3 Cups Honeydew melon, about half a small melon (or any other white melon)

4 small Peaches

1 Banana

1 Cup Spinach, tightly packed or 2 cups loosely packed (or any other mild greens)
1 Cup Quinoa cooked. 

Instructions

Blend the ingredients in the following order:

1. Blend the dry ingredients and liquid first for a short time

2. Blend the greens next for a short time (if using)

3. Blend the fruit and the rest of the ingredients until smooth (or as smooth as your blender will allow. High speed blenders may need 2 minutes for a Green Thickie, less powerful blenders may need a lot more, sometimes 5-10 minutes)

More tips:
Blending this way allows the dry ingredients to be blended for longest, it means the greens will fit in your blender and your fruit gets less blending so it doesn’t become too hot.
