Try polishing off your greens via glass instead of plate

For May’s edition of What’s Cooking, The Homewood Star asked Edgewood’s Sprout & Pour for a spring greens recipe. 

Owner Amanda Blake Turner recommended a Green Smoothie, which includes a Granny Smith apple, kale, spinach, coconut water, honey and ginger.

“It’s as filling as a meal and has huge amounts of nutritional benefits — energy, skin, gut health, stress relief,” Turner said.

Recipe:

► ½ cup coconut water

► ½ Granny Smith apple

► 1 tablespoon honey

► 1 tablespoon peanut butter

► Handful of kale

► Handful of spinach

► 2 small pieces of ginger (peeled)

Steps:

1. Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a glass and enjoy.
