Colors of the Rainbow Smoothies for the Week


I am thinking of making these smoothies according to the colors of rainbow (well, almost) for each day of the week:

Monday: Red smoothie
Tuesday: Orange smoothie
Wednesday: Yellow smoothie
Friday: Green smoothie
Thursday: Light green smoothie
Saturday: Purple smoothie

Sunday: We will take a break and enjoy a Chocolate smoothie instead.

The plan is that I will go for my groceries shopping once a week to cover all the ingredients for that week. I am not quite sure whether I will keep to this order, but I guess the aim is to cover the colors of the rainbow. The sequence is not so important.

To make it simple, I might also just use all the colors' ingredients mixed in a smoothie, but that will give a muddy color, which is not so attractive to the kids, and adults alike. Let's see how it works out :-)

Btw, it's actually possible to make blue smoothies (see links below), but I think it is too much work for now...

Yellow Smoothie


Ingredients:
1. 1.5 cup fresh skimmed milk
2. 1 tsp fla xseeds
3. 1/2 cup (30g) cabbage sliced into smaller pieces
4. 1 tsp ginger finely cut
5. 3 slices of pineapple cut into smaller pieces
6. 1 banana fresh or frozen

Directions:
Add all ingredients in the order listed above into a blender and blend until smooth.

Additional Information:
The other FECS are ok with this smoothie, although not to crazy about it. I am not really a fan of pineapple, but our Little FECS likes pineapple. Baby FECS basically doesn't want to drink any smoothies, so it doesn't matter about this yellow smoothie.
