Robyn’s Green Smoothie 

 

2 c. filtered water

1/2 to 1 t stevia or 1/4 c. agave (if like sweet flavor)

1/4 whole lemon including the peel which is high in flavanoids 

2-3 T. fresh, refrigerated flax oil–can also add equal amount of coconut oil

Gradually add greens:

a few handfuls of washed greens: spinach, chard, kale, collards are mainstays

turnup, mustard, dendelion greens, arugula–use more sparingly as they are spicy and bitter

lettuces and beet greens are also good to use freely 

purslane if you can find it or lambsquarter leaves, morning glory, and thistle sparingly due to strong taste

Puree greens mixture until smooth.

Gradually add fruit until well blended:

1-2 bananas

1-2 c. frozen mixed berries

Any other fruit to taste: pears, peaches, apples, orange, apricot, mango, papaya, cantaloupe, pineapple, etc.
