Green Smoothie

Take a break from cooking and make a satisfying meal from raw fruits and vegetables.
This drink takes about twelve minutes to make from start to finish. It’s a great way to get
your greens without any work, and I like the slightly fibrous texture the greens impart. The
smoothie is good for two days if you want to have it for a few meals. After storing it overnight
in the refrigerator, just reblend it for a few seconds. As different fruits come into season, try
berries instead of oranges, or a ripe peach instead of the banana. In hot weather, blend in
several ice cubes. Makes 6 cups

1 cup firmly packed kale, collard, 1 sweet apple, coarsely chopped

or other leafy greens, stems removed and
1 large banana, coarsely chopped
coarsely chopped
2 oranges, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf
1/4 cup almonds
parsley leaves

1 carrot, peeled and coarsely chopped 21/4 cups water

Place all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. If the mixture is too
thick, add a little more water.
