What to do with a bunch of cilantro

Normally you would put cilantro in a burrito or some similar salty dish from Mexico.. But today, I decided to try something different. It stemmed from the hypothesis that it may help my digestion.. And anyways it’s pretty healthy. So, I took a fistful that was sitting in my windowsill sort of on the verge of wilting, chopped it up, and threw it in a blender along with some frozen peaches, a frozen banana, a little slosh of orange-mango juice, almond milk, ground Ginger, and fresh vanilla. With my roomate looking on and me peering through the glass, a bit terrified by the contents as i closed the lid, I turned the blender on and watched as the bits of green spun into a liquid twister, emerging back out as smaller bits, until eventually they evolved the mix into a bright green consistency. After about 2 minutes, I look fearfully at my roommate, seeing her reaction equally as curious, but wary… What beast of a smoothie have I just created? Dipping the toe edge of a spoon in the mix, I leverage it towards my mouth, my tongue taking the first onslaught of this concoction. The instant the it touched, neurons fired strongly to my brain signaling —–>——goooooood—>—- omg this—>—is…—–>—-deliiiicious!! Full of flavors all mixed, but matched. The full sensation is impossible to describe, all I can give you is this photo:

But don’t take my word for it.
