Instructions

  1. Add the liquid ingredients to a high-powered blender or a food processor.

  2. Once the liquids have been added, toss in any leafy greens or softer fruits and veggies, along with spices, seasonings or protein powder.

  3. Finally, add any harder or frozen ingredients such as apples, celery and ice.

  4. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth or until your desired consistency is reached.

  5. If you'd like to thin out your smoothie, add 1-2 teaspoons of water or any other liquid ingredient. Blend well and repeat if desired.

  6. If you'd like to make your smoothie sweeter, blend in a small amount of your favorite sweetener, such as maple syrup, raw honey, coconut sugar, monk fruit sweetener or stevia. Taste and repeat if you'd like. Remember that liquid sweeteners will also thin out the smoothie.
