Instructions

• If using fresh greens, wash and dry them. Measure 1 cup raw leafy greens (or use 1/3 cup frozen leafy greens).
• Measure 1 cup frozen chopped pineapple, banana, mango, or cherries. If your fruit is fresh, freeze it first so you won’t need ice.
• Add ingredients to the blender in this order: greens, frozen fruit, then 1 cup juice or milk of choice (for example, coconut or almond milk). Add sweetener of choice to taste.
• Start blending on low to combine, then increase to high and blend until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
• Taste and adjust texture or sweetness: if the smoothie is too thick, add small amounts of juice or milk and blend again; if it needs more sweetness, add sweetener and blend briefly.
• Pour into a glass or bowl and serve immediately; add toppings if desired.
