Green Smoothie

Today's green smoothie is actually an official green smoothie, as I went to the store to get some leafy greens.  The semi-green smoothie was pretty healthy, but not nearly as healthy as having a nice large dose of those dark leafy greens!

Green Smoothie:

 Ingredients:

  • 2 cups spinach, tightly packed
  • 1/4 large zucchini, roughtly chopped
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 frozen banana
  • Mediumish sized chunk of frozen passion fruit pulp
  • Pineapple chunks
  • Orange segments
  • 1 TBSP wheat germ
  • 1/4 cup whole grain oats
  • Sweetener of choice, if desired

Directions:

  1. Place zucchini, spinach, wheat germ, and water in blender and blend until liquefied, stopping to push down spinach with spatula if needed (or you can be a big dork like me and push it down with your fingers. Whatever).
  2. Add banana, pineapple, oranges, passion fruit pulp, and oats to blender, and blend again until smooth, adding water to reach desired consistency.

Enjoy!
