Another Green Smoothie

Green Smoothies are a health must, in my opinion! What better way to start the morning than with green leafy vegetables? Green smoothies build your immune system and provide overall nutrition to each cell in your body. This is a very creamy and delicious smoothie.  So do your body good and add green smoothies to your daily diet.

Green Smoothie



Remember hearing your Mother say "Eat your vegetables!"  Well Momma was right.  Green leafy vegetables such as kale, spinach, bok choy, and swish chard are packed with phytonutrients that build your body's immune system and helps to fight off free radicals.  This smoothie also contains cranberries which are super antioxidants that help your skin look young and keeps your internal organs functioning better.

  

Green Smoothie
1 stalk of celery
1 whole kale leaf
1/2 lemon (peeled)
1/2 grapefruit (peeled)
1 c cranberries
2 tbsp agave nectar
2 c kefir water

Strawberry Citrus Drink

Decided to sit on my front porch and enjoy the nice weather on Veterans Day while I reminisce over how wonderful it is to live in America.  I appreciate our armed forces - past, present, and future - who allow us to enjoy the freedoms that we all enjoy.  For me, just a peaceful day of listening to the birds chirping and the bees buzzing, feeling the wind blowing, while viewing all the beauty that God created.  Happy Veterans Day!

Ingredients
1 whole lemon - peeled and seeded
1/2 sweet red grapefruit - peeled and seeded
1 whole Satsuma or tangerine - peeled and seeded
1 cup Strawberries (frozen or fresh)
1 1/2 c cold water
2 tbsp of agave nectar
Directions
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
