I don't remember who suggested it-The Green Smoothie


Green Smoothie

1-2 large handfuls of spinach
1 apple, sliced
1 banana sliced
1/2 lemon, seeds removed (you can throw the whole thing in, or just squeeze some of the juice. I don't mind the rind)
1/4 c. water
ice (I just add it until I get the desired "smothie" consistency I like, usually just one handful.)

Place everything in a powerful blender or Vitamix. Blend and enjoy! This easily serves 2-3 people.

I have yet to experiment adding other fruits, but I think strawberries or raspberries could be a good addition! You could aslo sweeten it up with some splenda or other low-cal sweetener.
