Super Green Smoothie


I have been starting out everyday with this fantastic smoothie. You'll get 2-3 servings of fruit and at least 1-2 servings of veggies per smoothie! This would be great for kids, because it tastes very fruity, and you really can't taste the greens. Full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, Omega-3's, chlorophyll, structured water, protein (especially if you use spirulina), and B vitamins, this super-food drink will keep you going all morning. It takes no time to make and really fills me up and gives a great burst of energy. I just love the beautiful green color! If you're looking for new ways of adding more raw fruits and veggies in your diet, this is definitely the way to do it!

Super Green Smoothie

Ingredients (makes one serving):

* 1-2 large kale leaves, cleaned and torn into small pieces

* large handful clean fresh spinach leaves

* 1 teaspoon spirulina (optional)

* 1 ripe banana

* 2 kiwi, peeled and chopped or 1/2 cup peeled mango

* 2 teaspoons ground flax seed

* 1 to 1 1/2 cups orange, pineapple or mango juice, depending on how thick you like your smoothie

Blend until smooth and enjoy immediately.
