Fresh Start Green Smoothie

Happy Monday Everyone! A fresh start is synomous with the New Year and we are jumping on the bandwagon. The post-Holiday season is upon us and everyone is getting into “detox” mode after an indulgent end to 2012.  We are all for getting the correct amount of nutrients and vitamins our bodies need: the easier the process, the better. Green smoothies are a great way to do this, and when made at home you get full control over the ingredients that go into these tasty health boosters. Below is an example of a smoothie that is high in nutrition, low on sugar, and that actually tastes great. Try our combination below and tweak the ingredients to your palate’s desire.
Approximately 2 servings:

1 large orange, peeled
1 cup kale (or spinach)
1 small avocado
1 cup apple, chopped
1 cup coconut water, chilled (add more if needed)
1/2 cup ice
4 tbsp lemon juice
dash cayenne (optional)

Combine these ingredients in your blender for a delicious and nutritious way to start your day.

Happy tasting,
 Paul/a
