I stumbled across the website Green Thickies the other day, and was particularly intrigued by the Prize Pineapple & Parsley Smoothie. I’ve used parsley in fresh juices before, but never a smoothie! Katherine pretty much guarantees that her thickies will last you through lunch, so this morning I gave it a shot.
I already have a green smoothie-for-breakfast habit, so making this wasn’t much of a change. I made half of the recipe as written. The only differences from my normal smoothies was that I used less almond milk and added 1/2 cup of rolled oats instead of protein powder. It ended up being the same number of PointsPlus as normal, 4, so that was convenient. I loved the flavor! You couldn’t tell that there was parsley involved, it was more like a vibrant, fresh flavor. The recipe is called a smoothie, which I guess isn’t as thick as a thickie, but it was much more thick than my normal smoothies. Sadly, it didn’t hold me over until lunch, but I did wait to have my morning snack until about a half hour later than normal, and had less food than normal, so that was good. I think I might try making smoothies with a combination of protein powder and oats to see if I can come up with a combo that lasts for hours.
I’ve got more parsley in the fridge, and am looking forward to another pineapple-parsley smoothie on Monday!
