Zingy Blended Breakfast Drink

Since we acquired our VitaMix, we've been making mostly fruit smoothies and ice creams. Turns out, no matter how much spinach you add to those things, it's still a whole lot of sugar. This morning, I thought I'd have a bit of an experiment and make a mostly vegetable breakfast drink. Here's what I tossed in:

1/2 cucumber
1/2 lemon
1 handful spinach
1 bit of fresh ginger (a little goes a long way)
1 generous pinch of fresh parsley
2 small handfuls of blueberries
water
ice

What I got was a buzzy splash of wake-up—a jolt of pretty clean energy to take into my day. Yum.
