Green Smoothies

Have I mentioned I am in love with green smoothies? They're just blended fruit and greens with a little water or juice. I have been using carrot juice for the past few weeks and really like it. If you're just starting out, try a lot of fruit with a handful of spinach. You will love getting your minerals, fiber and vitamins this way. It's tasty I promise! As you get a taste for things green, work your way up to other types of lettuce, and chard. I've also added ginger and lemon juice with good results. They've been tasting especially nice lately because of fresh greens from the garden. Arugula really knocked me over this week...I love the nutty taste!
