Drink My Salad

I’m lazy. How lazy am I? I’m too lazy to chew.

Seriously, I enjoy a good salad: they taste great, they make me feel great, but OMG, they take so long to eat. Take a bite, chew, chew, chew. Take another bite, chew, chew, chew.

“Hey Jordan, we’re going out, wanna come?”

“Nope, sorry, I gotta stay home and masticate.”

Fortunately, I’ve found a solution: drink my salad. All the yumminess and healthy goodness of a salad, but you can slurp it down on the go!

Here’s my recipe. As noted, you should think of this as a starting point. Personalize it. One bonus of the ingredients that I use is that virtually all of them can be found at Trader Joe’s, making for an easy shopping trip. I’ll make a big batch, freeze some of it, drink it over several days, then leave my frozen jar in the fridge to defrost for the next day.

Note: this is a salad in a blender, not be be confused with the sugar syrup they sell at places like Jamba Juice.
