Good Morning Green Smoothie

Green smoothies are probably one of the best things you can drink for breakfast in the morning.  They are packed with all sorts of vitamins and nutrition.  And if you struggle to eat lots of veggies throughout your day they are perfect for making sure you get that little extra.  Today's smoothie is a great one for everyday!

Good Morning Green Smoothie
From: Laura's Luves
Yield: Apx. 28-32 ounces

Ingredients:

1/2 Large Cucumber
3 Small to medium size carrots
1/2 Lime
1 cup water
2 stalks celery
2 handfuls spinach
1 small apple- cored
1 Banana
5-6 stalks of fresh parsley
1 tablespoons chia seeds

Directions:

Using your juicer- juice the following ingredients in this order: Cucumber, carrots, then lime.

Take the juice from the juicer and pour it into your blender.  Add 1 cup of water to your blender with the juice. Add the spinach and blend,  then add the celery and blend, then add the parsley and blend, then add the apple and blend , then add the banana and blend until smooth.

Pour smoothie into a large glass and stir in the chia seeds.  Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir and enjoy!

It's very important to not juice every single ingredient.  The veggie/fruit pulp has a lot good stuff in so that's why I do both the juicer and the blender.

I'm going to go enjoy my smoothie now :)
