Green Smoothie Recipes


Hello everyone.  I've decided to post some of our yummy green smoothie recipes.
We've been spreading the word (ever since we read the book "Green for Life") and many of you have been interested, so here they are.  And remember that mixing and matching is a good thing. You will never get bored if you keep the greens and fruits diverse.  :)

1-2 big handful of Spinach
2 Bananas
1-2 Cups of Strawberries
2 Cups of Water ... and Blend on "Liquefy" setting for approx. 15secs.

1-2 big handful of Field Green lettuce mix 
1 Banana
1 Cups of Strawberries or Raspberries
1-2 Cups of Pineapple
2 Cups of Water.. and Blend as above.

1-2 handful of Kale
1 Banana
2 Cups of Mango
1 Cup of Raspberry and/ or Pineapple/ or Peach
2 Cups of Water.. and Blend as above.

6-8 Romaine Leaves
1 Banana
1 Orange
1 Cup of Red Grapes
2 Cups of Water.. and Blend as above.

1 Stalk of Celery
1 Banana
2 Cups of Blueberries
2 Cups of Water.. and Blend as above.

** make sure to cut up all of your greens and fruits to maintain good health of your blender.
**also, I like to use Organic greens and fruits every chance I get to ensure rich nutrients (vitamins and minerals).  
**and, last thing, if you have fresh fruit use it, but frozen fruit makes for a nice cold smoothie, so maybe mix it up between fresh and frozen.
