My altered recipes: Green Smoothies!

To green-smoothie or not to green-smoothie, that is the debate...

I ran out of my cereal a few weeks ago and, while trying to avoid having the oven on for an hour plus, decided to try a morning smoothie.  Most of the recipes I tried were pretty fruit-heavy which I believe is counter-productive. So last week when I attended a Feed Life workshop and tasted this Nutrient Dense Green Smoothie, I was really excited to make my own!

Ingredients:
3 leaves kale
2 stalks of celery
1/4 cucumber
1/2 bulb fennel
1 green apple
1 thumb of ginger
1/2 lemon
2 dates (optional)

Here's my super-dooper version:
3 kale leaves
1 stalk of celery
(I forgot to add, and to buy, cucumber, whoops!)
1/2 small bulb of fennel
1 green apple
1 banana
1 thumb of ginger
1/2 a lemon
half ring of fresh pineapple (approx 1/8 cup)
1/8 cup of hemp seeds
1/8 cup of chia seeds
1 T flax oil (I got this one at Costco)
25 oz of water

Tastes delicious and fills me up until lunch!
