How to Make a Green Smoothie

I love making smoothies for breakfast in my Nutribullet. I also have a Vitamix blender but a Nutribullet works great. They sell them at Target for about $99 which is the cheapest I have found. It's easy and fast to use and clean.

Regular blenders won't do as good a job obliterating leafy greens, but you can still manage with enough liquid and some patience. 

Basic Recipe

• 1 packed cup of leafy greens (goes in blender first)
• 1 banana
• 1 cup berries, fresh or frozen
• Water, enough to cover the greens 

• Rotate which greens you use, use kale for a week, then switch to spinach, etc. You can use romaine, pre-washed salad mix, or even wild edible greens from your yard! 
  
• Replace the berries with other fruits like mango, pineapple, peaches, or whatever else you enjoy.
  
• Add coconut water instead of plain water.
  
• You can add a teaspoon of flax or chia seeds, raw sunflower seeds, or even raw walnuts.
• Make it a superfood smoothie by adding herbs such as a tincture of Reishi mushroom or a teaspoon of goji berries.
