This green smoothie is packed with health and vitality! It might not be for the smoothie newbie, however, as the sheer volume of veggies could be overwhelming to someone who likes a sweeter fruit based smoothie. My husband and I have been drinking this every day for the past week and we think it's just delicious. A great way to get in your greens. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
2 large kale leaves, inner stem removed
GIANT handful of fresh spinach
1 to 2 ripe bananas, (preferably frozen) an extra banana will make it sweeter
1 cup mango, frozen
1 to 2 large celery stalks, depending on how you can handle the flavor
1 large pear, green or brown (keep the skin on)
10 fresh mint leaves
1 inch nub of ginger, peeled
juice of one lime
a few ice cubes, optional
About 2 cups of water
Directions:
Blend all ingredients in a high power blender. I use a Vitamix and always blend it through two smoothie cycles because I like it very well blended. If there is too much for just one, share! Or you can pour the extra into a mason jar with a tight fitting lid and drink the rest the following day. I do this all the time and am always so happy to have a ready-made smoothie waiting for me in the fridge the following day! Enjoy!
