Green Smoothie

Green Smoothie 

Ingredients:

2-4 cups spinach and/or kale (remove the stems)

1-2 cups of water

1-2 bananas

1 heaping cup frozen pineapple chunks

1 cup frozen mango, peaches or other light fruit

1 Tb honey or agave (optional for sweetness)


Directions:

First I fill my trusty blender with spinach--lots of it! Then I fill the container up to the 2 line with water filling in around the spinach. Pulse to blend into a bright green water.

Next add your bananas, frozen fruit ans sweetener, if using. I push the 'whole juice' button and the blender purees it all for me into a wonder smooth green drink. What ever blender you have, just be sure to blend it for a good amount of time to make sure it is as smooth as possible. Pour into glasses and serve!
