Equipment
- 1 blender
- 1 cutting board
- 1 Chef's knife
Ingredients
- 2 heads romaine lettuce medium-size
- ½ cup spinach
- ½ cup coconut water
- 1 banana peeled (medium-size)
- 1 apple cored but NOT peeled (medium-size)
- 1 pear cored but NOT peeled (medium-size)
- 1 lemon rind removed but including pulp for added fiber.
Add-Ons (OPTIONAL)
- A few stalks of celery about 2-3 stalks
- Almond butter or any other nut butter such as creamy peanut butter (about 1-2 TBSP)
Instructions
- Prep the ingredients: Chop the lettuces, wash and drain well to remove dirt. Core the apple and pear; then peel the banana and cut the rind off the lemon.
- Make the smoothie: In a blender, blend together the lettuce, pear, apple, banana, lemon, spinach, and coconut water until smooth and creamy. You can blend it as thick or thin as you want.
- Then, place some ice cubes into a glass and pour the green smoothie in. Enjoy!
- If you want, you may add chopped celery and almond butter to this drink (or even protein powder or flax seeds). Do not strain! Drink all the blended fiber of the fruits and veggies!
- Because it yields a large smoothie, you may refrigerate half to drink it later if you want.
