Green Drink
Ingredients
2-3 cups Kale, frozen
2 cups other leafy greens, frozen (I usually use spinach but I have used romaine, Chinese cabbage, and others)
2/3 cup apple juice
1/3 cup pear juice
1/2 cup rice milk
1 banana, peeled
1 cup strawberries, frozen
1/3 cup blackberries
1/2 cup blueberries
2-3 tablespoons honey
Directions
Put Kale and other greens into blender. Add rice milk and apple juice. Turn on blender to the highest speed. It will take a few minutes for the greens to blend completely. If your blender starts to struggle add the pear juice or use one of the frozen stems from the kale to push the greens down a little. Once the greens are completely mixed in and smooth, add the banana, berries, and pear juice (if not added before). Blend on high until completely mixed. Once it is all blended taste it before you add the honey, you might not need it. Serve right away and enjoy!
Variations:
I don't always have fresh berries on hand. If I don't then I just use a frozen medley of blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries. Sometimes I add a whole peeled pair and use what ever juice I have on hand. As long as you are using at least 4 cups of greens to just over 2 cups of fruit you'll be good. Sometimes I even add less fruit and my kids don't notice except for the color is more green than a purple green.
