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.

Do you have a favorite vegetable or fruit smoothie?
We've been enjoying variations of this one all week. Try adding some blackberries and a bit of kale. Or sub a peach for the blueberries if you happen to run out, which we did.
I have a liquid vitamin D I like to throw in, too.
Strawberries and asian cabbage- yum! It's a light, almost peppery 'green'. I also love doing anything with tropical fruits - not local but certainly delicious.
