Get Your Greens Smoothie

Source of Recipe

From "The Honeysuckle Cookbook" by Dzung Lewis


Recipe Introduction

"Smoothies are an easy way to get some healthy veggies and fruits into your day, especially when you can't bring yourself to eat them otherwise. I blend my leafy greens with cooling vegetables and tart fruits to make a refreshing smoothie. Even Erisy loves this recipe! If you like a spicy kick to your smoothie, add ½ teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger."

â—¦ 1 Persian (mini) cucumber, cut into large chunks

â—¦ 1 cup ice (4 standard ice cubes)
