Green Smoothie

If you are looking for a way to add more greens to your family's diet, this is a great way to do it! Also, it's much easier than trying to choke down a huge salad (especially for kids).

3 cups Water (more if your blender needs it)
12 cups Fresh Spinach
3 large leaves Kale (include the woody stock it's nutritous too)
3 large leaves Chard (red or rainbow, stem and all)
3 large leaves Collard (with stem, of course)
Really, you can use any green leafy with a mild flavor
2 small apples
2 small bananas (I prefer them frozen)
2 cups frozen berries (I buy the big frozen berries at Costco which include marion, blueberries, blackberries, and raspeberries

I don' t really measure ingredients at this point so the above listed are just a guess. I just make sure I keep adding greens until I have a gallon of smoothie.

Put the water in your blender and then fill it with veggies, blend and keep adding ingredients until smooth. You may have to empty blender to 1/2 full to get everything in. I make 1 gallon of green smoothie a day. This gives Kade and I each 4 cups and the kids 2 cups each with two cups left over for the kids to have as a snack.
