My First Green Smoothie

Do you remember your first green smoothie? I do!

While shopping at my local health food store here in Northern Minnesota, someone was so generously handing out samples of green smoothies. I remember that first curious, but yet nervous sip. I also remember my amazement at how deliciously hidden the greens were in the fruit smoothie. It was spinach blended into a pineapple smoothie. I was hooked from day one! That was over 5 years ago.

It sounds like Nicci has tried her first green smoothie. Exciting! She was bold enough to use arugula in her first smoothie. Way to go. Let's take a look at what other ingredients she used.

Thanks for sharing your new found enthusiasm for green smoothies! Keep it up!

Happy Blending!

8 to 10 grape tomatoes
1/2 handful of alfalfa sprouts
16 ounces of coconut water with pineapple

and agave nectar to taste if needed

Add all of the above ingredients into the blender and blend until smooth.

Wow! I'm so excited to make this one again! I can't wait!
