Daily Detox Ritual #2: Breakfast Meal Replacement Green Smoothie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 orange
1/2 cup pineapple
1/2 banana
1/2 cup mango
1/2 cup papaya
1 cup spinach
1 cup kale
3 celery ribs
1/2 lime juice
1/2 lemon juice
2 cups water
stevia

Preparation

Start with water, you can use 1 cup to start, blend in about one small handful each of spinach and kale. Blend until smooth *if using a regular blender, try frozen organic chopped spinach. VITA MIX: add all ingredients in order, no need to blend greens first.
Add in 1/2 orange, cut into a few smaller pieces, try leaving a little rind! Make sure you take all seeds out. Break celery (more fat burning, anti-inflammatory!) into chunks, and blend smooth. NOTE: Citrus type fruits work best, for best nutrient absorption.
Add in harder fruits first, banana and lemon/lime last. If too thick, add in cold water until desired thickness, remember, it's a smoothie-not a juice:).
Add stevia and sweeten to taste, and try a pinch of dry or fresh mint if you find it strong for your palate!
