I mentioned on my first smoothie post that I embarked our smoothie endeavors because I was given the Montel Healthmaster.
That is the reason for the name of this drink. I had my most fearless smoothie/ juice testers with me, Henry and George. They have seemed to be my best testers, I guess because they are younger and more trusting…
I have been having better luck with the kids when the drinks are more smoothie-like with yogurt,fruit and sneaking some spinach in there too. The all-vegetable drinks, have been a harder sell. They will taste them but not gulp them done, which is what the case was this one.
This Montel drink tasted much like a V-8, although I was pretending it was a Bloody Mary. I really enjoyed it, but I think I will half the recipe next time since I won’t have anyone to share it with me. I loved the kick the jalapeno pepper gave it too.
