The Everything Super Green Smoothies by Michelle

*I love to use anything I have on hand, here are many items that I use to make my Super Green Smoothies (you pick what works for you and then add your own exciting additions!):

-Kale leaves (great nutrients)

-Frozen fruit (blueberries, strawberries, mixed berries, mangos, etc...)

-One or Two T. of frozen fruit juice (100% juice)

-Vegetables (cucumber, celery, carrots, sweet red peppers, spinach, etc...)

-Fiber powder

-Whey protein

-Keifer probiotics (it is similar to yogurt but much better for you - you can find this in the dairy section of most large grocery stores)

-Juice from 1/2 lemon or lime

-Grated ginger

-Fresh fruit - any fresh fruit is wonderful!

-Flax seeds (great for fiber, Omega-3 and provides lignans)

-Chia seeds (great for fiber and Omega-3)

**I usually make enough to fill a blender and keep the rest in the fridge to drink during the day!

***Just in case you were flabbergasted at how much there is on this list, feel at ease, I do not use all these items in every drink.  Mix things around and use what you have.

****This is great for doing a cleanse!  Drink everyday for a week and it will help clear out toxins from your body......you will have renewed energy.
