Looking for an easy way to get more greens into your diet? This green smoothie is a delicious and fast way to incorporate more greens and fruits into your meals. I’ve been drinking this smoothie from Kimberly Snyder for years. In fact, I couldn’t start my day without it! When we moved to Sweden, I stopped making it and I don’t know why. After all the travel and food indulges I’ve had the last few months, I thought it was time to bring it back into rotation. Give it a try an let me know what you think.

Key Ingredients

• Fresh greens - romaine and spinach are my top choices, but cabbage is also great

• Celery - one stalk

• Apple - I like to use Honeycrisp, but if you want it a bit more tart, a granny smith would be great

• Pear - any kind will do, peaches are also a good mix

• Banana - this is optional, if you don’t use, just add in more of the apple or pear

• Lemon - I like a full lemon, I find the citrus really cuts through the greens and makes it taste more like a juice

Easy Instructions

1. Roughly chop lettuce, and celery

2. Core the apple and pear, peel banana

3. Juice lemon

4. Combine all ingredients in blender and add water

5. Add any herbs, if using

6. Blend well and enjoy!
