Course: Drinks

Cuisine: American

3 cups Romaine lettuce approx 6 large leaves, washed well
2 cups baby kale
1/2 zucchini no need to peel if it is organic
1 cup frozen mango
1 frozen banana
1 tbsp ground flax seed
1 tbsp vanilla unsweetened protein powder Optional
1-1/2 cup organic unsweetened soymilk or any alternative milk you desire
6 ice cubes this makes your smoothie icy cold and thick like a milkshake
1 tbsp pure maple syrup OR 1 softened date (depitted) Optional but if you desire your smoothie to be a little sweeter. NOTE: Use either the maple syrup of the date. You should not need both.

1 strong blender This is the one I have. I promise it is worth the investment. These are the Cadillac of blenders. I've had mine for 10+ years now, and it is still going strong.
2 16oz drinking glasses or mason jars I like mason jars for my smoothies. You can seal them up tight and put them in the fridge for whenever you are ready to drink them.

If you find you need a blender often, I highly recommend investing in a Vitamix. They are more expensive than other brands but I promise you will not be disappointed. The Vitamix motor is so powerful, it can blend even an avocado pit!
- THIS is the one I own, and I've had it now for over 10 years. I like the 64oz lower canister because it sits more readily on the kitchen counter, under the cabinets, but still holds as much as the regular canister size.
Here are links to some ingredients you may not be familiar with but may want to experiment with in your green smoothie.
