Another Kind of Love!

Welcome! This week I am going up to the cities to watch my families pets while they are in Florida.  The best part?! I get to see my best friend while I am up there!  She will be spending the week with me at the house we will be making all kinds of fun and yummy things!

The first thing we wanted to try was a recipe she found on a friends website www.ahealthfoodie.com .  We are calling it the Lean Green Machine.  It is a green smoothie that is full of antioxidents and tastes so refreshing!

INGREDIENTS
5 cups organic spinach
3-4 inch piece organic cucumber
Handfull of organic flat-leaf italian parsley (optional)
1/2 organic green apple
1/2 organic pear
1 banana
Juice of 1/2 lemon or 1 lime
2-3 cups of water

DIRECTIONS
Add spinach, cucumber, flat leaf parsley and water to a high speed blender. Blend together for 30 seconds. Add the apple, pear, banana and lemon. Blend for another minute. If the smoothie is too thick for you, add more water 1/2 cup at a time. You can keep this in a pitcher in the fridge as well!

Enjoy!!
