insides are happy our outsides look happy ... simple as that. With that, I bring you some directions for crafting your smoothie. Play around with different ingredents, see what you like and what you don't like, and always switch things up depending on what you find is fresh, local, seasonal, and organic. Happy Smoothie-ing! Start by placing a cup of water in a high powered blender. A Vitamix works the best, but if you do not own one, then a regular blender will work fine. Add the lemon juice (if using) as well as the protein powder (if using). Then, add the leafy greens. You will want to add about 5-6 large pieces of kale (I remove the stalks, I find they have a strong taste), and add a handful of spinach and a handful of romaine, and the parsley and cilantro. Will try your method of blending - been making similar smoothies but didn't really enjoy them that much as they're not smooth enough even though I have a decent quality blender. I usually do a big batch at the weekend and then freeze in small pots and then defrost overnight during the week so I can have one every morning without the prep - am not a morning person :-) Good way of using up any leftovers from my weekly veggie box, would recommend beetroot, tastes nice plus the pink colour! I have been drinking a green smoothie every morning for about six months now. What an amazing
