Green Smoothie

Green Smoothie we have all been loving this week:

Chop up some yummy watermelon into large pieces and fill the blender with them. Add 1/2 C water, 1/2 a bag of frozen raspberries, 1/2 a bag frozen strawberries, a squeeze of lemon or lime, and a handful of romaine lettuce. Blend and pour over ice. Perfect for a hot afternoon or right after a couple hours at the park!

One addition we played with was adding Vitamineral Green powder. I used 2 T since we haven't had it in a while and I think we all need a boost after two weeks on the road. I also had some pineapple sitting in the fridge so I added that, core and all, as well. It sweetened up the smoothie when I was running low on frozen fruit.

Another great green to add to this concotion is parsley. I originally found this recipe in David Wolfe's Sunfood Diet book and his green was parsley. The mixture of the red berries, watermelon, and parsley is a huge iron boost. Awesome!

Cheers,
