A few months ago, we invested in a Vitamix. Since then, we have smoothies almost every day. Yummy, healthy smoothies. Even our 4-year old loves them. I always add in lots of good stuff: berries, flax seed, spinach, celery, avocado, wheat grass, pineapple and more. The benefits of green smoothies are endless: detoxification, increased energy, high fiber and on and on. Just see what it's done for my friend Kathy at Alter Everything.
Now, I've been in a bit of a woe-is-me funk for a week now. And if green-smoothie-drinking can make a difference, I'll drink them day and night! Here's my funk-kickin' green smoothie recipe. Try it. You'll like it!
Melissa's Funk-Kickin' Green SmoothieFrozen Pineapple Chunks (1/2 Cup - 1 Cup)1 Apple (Quarter and remove seeds)

Obviously any combination of the above will work fine. If you don't have an ingredient or two, don't sweat it. Just use what you have. Get creative! If you want it a little sweeter, add more pineapple or some strawberries. Check out this site for more great recipes: http://www.greendivamom.com/2008/12/14/12-great-tasting-green-smoothie-recipes/.
