Green Smoothie Recipe Contest
The after school garden club has been at it again, this time making their famous and delicious green smoothies. The students have had 2 weeks to test out their favorite ideas and will now create their final masterpieces. The rules: must contain green vegetables from the school gardens, will be judged on taste, consistency, presentation and nutritional value.
The basic green smoothie recipe:
fill blender with mixed fresh greens (swiss chard, lettuce, beet greens, spinach, kale, herbs)
add ice, mint leaves, frozen banana and water if needed to make smooth.

Harvesting cassava
Thanks to Mr. Aisea, a native of Tonga and a wonderful community partner, 4th graders harvested 50 lbs of cassava (often known as tapioca). Cassava is a staple food for much of the world but is relatively unknown in Hawaii. The plant grows easily in poor soil and has been growing on our campus for more than a year. The students are expanding the cassava growing area by covering the weedy grass with mulch in preparation for new plantings.
Favorite student recipes:
cassava chips (slice cassava very thing and deep fry in canola oil, add pepper flakes, spiced paprika or popcorn spices for flavoring)
cassava fries (baked with oil and salt or fried)
mashed cassava (boil cassava until very soft and mash like potatoes, add salt to taste)
