Ingredients
  

  • 1 Bunch of kale
  • 1 Bunch of parsley
  • 5 celery sticks
  • 1 cucumber
  • 3 inch hunk of ginger root
  • 2 apples seeded and quartered
  • 1 frozen lemon
  • 1 frozen lime
  • 1 cup water

Equipment

  • Vitamix

Method
 

  1. Put water in Vita-Mix and blend frozen lemon and lime with water until slushy.
  2. Add each of the other ingredients blending after each ingredient is added.
  3. These are not exact measurements. You can use any amount of each that you want.
  4. You can also use other ingredients but the kale is the most beneficial.
  5. This will give you a blender full that would last me about 3 days.
  6. I put 2 tablespoons of chia seeds in the bottom of a large glass and pour the smoothie in.
  7. Mix thoroughly.

Notes

WARNING>>> This is going to be very tart from the lemon/lime and bitter from the kale but it is REALLY good for you!!!
