Instructions
Prepare the asparagus. Microwave or boil until soft. Refrigerate it to become cool before adding it to a smoothie. Cup off the hard stem at the end - you'll want only the soft part near the tip in your smoothie.
Blend. All ingredients until smooth.
Taste & adjust. Taste the smoothie and add more grapes or kiwi if necessary to sweeten it further.
Pour and enjoy. I can keep a day in the refrigerator, or freeze in ice cube trays to be thawed and blended later.
Notes
Garnish with fresh shavings of mango, or add a ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon, or a tablespoon of lime juice for a fresh citrus flavor.
