Green Smoothie 1.0

I love green smoothies, particularly Naked's Green Machine. My mother-in-law recently lent me her juicer, so we've been busy in the kitchen trying to make a Green Machine of our own. Here's attempt #1. While it doesn't really taste like Naked's version, it's still really tasty and full of vitamins!

Green Smoothie 1.0
2 handfuls leafy spinach
4 handfuls green grapes
2-3 small green apples
2 carrots
6 celery sticks
1 tbsp finely ground flaxseed

In a juicer or blender, juice the spinach, grapes, apples, carrots and celery. Pour into your cup or pitcher, and mix in the flaxseed. Chill thoroughly before drinking. Makes about 3 cups ~ 2 servings.

  1. My kids love green Popsicles form breakfast. Just pour into Popsicle molds and freeze for at least 3 hours. What mom doesn't love for their kids to eat spinach for breakfast!
