The Canadian Food Guide recommends 7-8 servings of fruit and veggies daily. I don’t know about you, but sometimes it’s hard to squeeze that into my day! So I’m sharing my quick and easy recipe for my green smoothie, that contains so many healthy fruits and vegetables. Each serving is packed with vitamins, nutrients, antioxidants and a full 3-4 servings of fruit and veggies. It’s a low glycemic, low calorie and easy way to get my greens in. So drink up, guilt free! I highly recommend a powerful blender, like my Vitamix that can pulverize almost anything, to get a palatable, smooth consistency. As an added hack, I usually buy my organic fruit and veggies, wash, chop and freeze so that I can make several servings quickly.
Recipe (for 1 serving):
1 cup roughly chopped kale leaves
1 cup organic baby spinach leaves
¼ cucumber
2 stalks celery
⅓ cup raspberry
⅓ medium apple (or ⅓ cup fresh pineapple pieces, other berries, or other fruit of choice)
Water to desired consistency
