Cook’s notes

I use frozen berries (a triple berry mix – blackberries, blueberries, raspberries), frozen beets, and frozen kale.  Even a high speed blender will choke on that much frozen fruit.  You can either wait, patiently, put the blender in the fridge for the night, or, as I often do, heat up the “milk” for about two minutes in the microwave and then use that.

I *never* measure this recipe, just eyeball it.  I measured it this time just to give some semblance of a usable recipe.

* I use a vegetable peeler to peel off the yellow part, then I use a knife to cut off all of the bitter, white pith and then add the flesh.
