4-5 medium-sized strawberries
3/4 of a banana, sliced into 1 in chunks
3-4 handfuls of fresh spinach or kale plus 1-3 more
Optional- Sometimes I throw in a few chopped baby carrots, slices of cucumber, almonds, and /or grou
Instructions
Layer the ingredients in the blender in the order listed
Blend together, beginning on a low setting, then increasing until it’s on high. Maintain a vortex in the middle of the mixture while blender is running. If there is no vortex, add more water as necessary
Thanks to the marvelous blend of all these different colors, you will probably have to add 1-3 more handfuls of spinach/kale to get a strong green color. I usually add them while the blender is running and keep it running on high until I don’t see any more leaf fragments.
Pour into a glass and enjoy
