My friend Laura shared this recipe with us. My whole family loves this drink! If you like Naked Juice Green Machine - this is even better because it's so fresh! Great way to use up those leafy greens that are loaded with nutrients or to get your picky kids to eat or drink their veggies!

1 leaf Kale

1 leaf Swiss Chard (I prefer the red over green)

1 leaf Collard Greens

1 cup Spinach

Broccoli just a little

1 cup organic apple juice

1-2 bananas (frozen or fresh)

½ cup – 1 cup Pineapple (frozen or fresh)

½ - 1 cup Mango (frozen or fresh)

Ginger (fresh not powder, omit if you don’t like ginger)

Handful of wheat sprouts (optional)

Blend together and enjoy!!

Serves 2-4.

Notes: Serve over ice.  Experiment with other veggies and fruits for variety. For a smoothie or thicker consistency, use frozen fruit instead of fresh or blend in some ice.  For a creamier drink or smoothie add a half to a full cup of plain Greek yogurt.
