D' Anjou Delight - Green Smoothie

Ingredients:
1 D' Anjou Pear (green, red or tan), peeled
1 Organic Apple
1 Lemon, Juiced
1 Chunk of Lemon Peel
1 Chunk Ginger Root, peeled
1 Lime, Juiced
11/2 C. Apple Juice
1/2 Avacado
2 Stalks Organic Celery
2 Large Leaves Organic Curly Kale
1/2 C. Italian Parsley
1/2 C. Organic Spinach
1 C. Ice
2 tsp. Ormus Supergreens Powder



I made this up very late at night. I rushed to the grocery store because I was craving the green juice my mother used to help cure her cancer. I wanted the flavors of lemon, lime, sweet apples and pears and cleansing greens. I kept having visons of this smoothie and low and behold the experiment was perfect the very first time around! It's green-drink smoothie! I am so thrilled I don't have to get my juicer out for the same satisfaction! When I went to a natural herbaligist in Provo, she told me that I should just blend up a bunch of cilantro and parsley and "chug" it. But in this smoothie, I savor every last delicious sip! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

  3. Do you think that the celery will blend enough with my blender? I brought out my pears from the fridge and put them in a brown bag so that I could make this really soon.

  4. Yes. If you add enough apple juice and water then celery should work just fine. Especially because this recipe dosn't call for a lot of celery. Just remember to blend the greens in the liquid base first, then add any fruit/frozen items.
