Recipe type: Smoothie
Ingredients
  • ½ cup apple juice (grape juice or orange juice will also work)
  • ½ cup water
  • ¾ cup tightly packed organic greens (I use baby spinach & spring mix, but any greens you like will work)
  • 2 Tablespoons natural peanut butter
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries
Instructions
  1. Blend apple juice, water, and greens in a blender until greens are dissolved.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until completely smooth.
Notes
1. It is very important to use frozen raspberries and banana. If you don't have frozen, you may want to add a handful of ice. I have found that you cannot taste the greens at all if the smoothie is very cold. If you let it get warm, you will begin to taste the greens.

2. You do not need a fancy blender. Mine is over 12 years old, and is still working just fine.

3. If you prefer it thicker, use less liquid. Feel free to play with it and add nuts, seeds, pineapple, different berries, different types of juice or milk in place of the apple juice and water, etc. I love smoothies because you can play with the recipes and adjust according to your own preferences.
