Makes 8 cups of 100 percent raw smoothie
Put 2 1/2 cups filtered water in a high-power blender.
Optionally add:
1/2 tsp stevia (herbal sweetener) or 1/4 cup raw, organic agave nectar (low glycemic index)
1/4 whole lemon, including peel (anti-skin cancer, high in flavinoids)
2-3 Tbsp. fresh, refrigerated flax oil (omega-3 rich oil)
Gradually add until, briefly pureed, the mixture comes up to the 5-cup line
3/4 to 1 lb. raw, washed greens, added up to the 5 1/2 cup line:
spinach, chard, kale, collards are your mainstays
turnip, mustard, dandelion greens, arugula-use more sparingly, as they're spicy or bitter
lettuces and beet greens are also good - use freely
try avacado or cabbage or 1-2 stalks celery
Puree the greens mixture for 90 seconds, until very smooth.
Gradually add fruit until the container is very full (8 cups or more), blend 9 seconds or until smooth:
1-2 bananas
1-2 cups frozen mixed berries (tastes wonderful and makes the smoothie purple rather than green)
any other fruit to taste: our favorites are pears and peaches, but also apples, oranges, apricots, cantaloupes (with seeds - very high in antioxidants!), mangoes, pineapples, anything!
You can save your smoothie in the fridge for up to two days - just shake well before drinking.
