GREEN SMOOTHIE #4

This smoothie uses an apple, orange and lemon this time.  The idea of the lemon intrigued me so I had to try it.  It is not as sweet as previous ones, but it has a nice tart almost lemonade taste.  The recipe called for spinach, but I only had bok choy and it still tasted great.  One author stated that bok choy in a smoothie creates a very smooth texture and it was true.  I recommend this recipe since in adds another flavor....we run this risk of making a healthy meal like this boring if we don't mix it up.  Plus switching up the ingredients each day adds different vitamins and minerals to our system.

  • 1/2 lemon peeled (remember hint on how to peel citrus from smoothies #2)
  • 1 large peeled orange (if orange is small use 2)
  • 1 large apple cored (leave peel on)
  • 1/2 to 1 banana to taste
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 cups of ice
  • 2 scoops of protein powder
blend for a few minutes.
