That means two things in my book. 1.) Its birthday month! And 2.) summer is so so close! My roommates and I have been experimenting with Green Smoothies the last few months, and came across one that is so good, I just had to share it. Its a super simple, easy, healthy way to start your day, and get all your servings of your greens for that day.
A quick bit of advice, unless you have a fancy blender, be sure to pre chop your green leaves and then blend those with your liquid first. This will help keep your smoothie from being too chunky with leave bits, and will keep your smoothie from warming up from the motor and blade since your throwing smaller bits in first. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
2 Carrots
3 Kale stalks, peeled from the stem and chopped
4 Spinach bunches, chopped
6-8 inches of a cucumber
1 apple, stemmed
a few ice cubes or frozen berries
