Super Green Energizer Smoothie!




This smoothie is inspired by David Wolfe, raw foodie extraordinaire. It's rejuvenating, cleansing, loaded with calcium, magnesium, vitamins and minerals to feed your cells and make 'em happy!

You need a decent blender to pull this recipe off though-since we are blending everything whole.

1/2 bunch of green kale (curly kind)
2 carrots
4-6 stalks of celery
1 apple
1 cucumber
1 whole lemon (peeled and seeded)

Blend all these ingredients together with enough water to make a drinkable consistency. You may have to add a few things at a time and blend. This will make several servings. I re-use glass bottles with screw top lids (from 16oz or so size juices). Fill the jars up 3/4 of the way and the rest with apple juice. This sweetens it a bit, but if you are in a hard-core green mood, just use water. Tastes so great when super cold too!

USE ALL ORGANIC INGREDIENTS! There is no sense in blending up a bunch of pesticides and drinking them in copious amounts.

The color of this smoothie is so incredibly alive, and once you have had it a few times you will fine tune it to your own tastes. It has been known to squelch a sweet tooth and other not-so healthy cravings.


Namaste,
Kendra
