Blue Green Zing Smoothie Recipe


I try to eat well.  All in all, I do a pretty good job.  But with running two businesses and a 2 ½ year old (although most of the time she’s running me) the one vital food group that often gets neglected is getting enough fresh greens.  Dark green leafy vegetables are probably the most concentrated source of nutrition of any food.  The added parsley and ginger give it a nice “zing” and the blueberries make it super yummy.  So super yummy that even a 2 ½ year old will drink it!

Ingredients

½ cup frozen blueberries
1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
1 ripe banana, cut into chunks
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
4 kale leaves, stems removed
½ cup fresh parsley
1 cup yogurt (vanilla or plain; dairy or non-dairy)
1 cup apple juice

Directions
Add in order listed above and blend until smooth.  Makes 2 servings (share with a friend or go green crazy and enjoy all on your own!)
