Daily Greens Smoothie
2 c. leafy greens (spinach, kale, chard, dandelion greens…whatever you can get your hands on!)
1/3 c. frozen berries (blueberries, blackberries, or mixed berries)
1/2 of a small/medium apple, or 1/3 of a large apple (depends on what you can find)
1/2 T ground flax seed
small nub of ginger (about the size of a quarter)
a few ice cubes
splash of apple juice (Trader Joe’s unfiltered organic apple juice is the best, and the best value too)
splash of coconut milk
splash of water
Toss all of the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. We prefer ours to be on the juicy side of the smoothie spectrum. If you like a thicker smoothie, simply experiment with more frozen berries and ice until you hit the jackpot.
It should look a little something like this. Depending on what kind of berries you used, the color of your smoothie may be a little different.
