Lean Green Machine!

That's what I'm calling my new green drink recipe! It's so good and seems to keep getting better everyday! I started making these because I realize that most of us, no matter how healthy we eat, just plain and simple do not get enough veggies in our diets! It's hard to eat plates and plates of salad and fruit everyday. So, I decided to stuff all my veggies into the Vitamix first thing in the morning, that way I feel good for the day plus had a mass amount of needed nutrients! Plus it tastes like pineapple and coconut, you don't even taste the greens!



GREEN DRINK RECIPE #2
Coconut Water (depending on how thick you like your drink, I add a good 16oz)
2 leafs of romain lettuce
3 leafs of dark green kale
1 stalk of celery
5-8 baby carrots
1 thick pineapple spear
1 handful of grapes
1 big handful of spinach
1 big chunk of ginger
1 spoonful of coconut oil
2 big tablespoons of UDO's oil (read about it here)
2 tablespoons Flora Udo's Green Blend ( you can buy it at healthfood stores)
1 handful of ice
Blend
Makes 2 large servings!
