quick and favorite green smoothie


One of my quick and favorite green smoothie recipes always contain kale or spinach, navel orange, frozen strawberries and either lemon or lime.  I also enjoy the refreshing taste of fresh herbs with these basic 4 ingredients.  Mint, Cilantro or Basil being my favorites.

This is what went into my mid-morning snack today:

  • kale
  • mint
  • navel orange (peeled)
  • 1/2 lime (peeled)
  • 3 frozen strawberries
  • ice and water to desired consistency
Layer the ingredients in your OmniBlend container with the fresh in first (and closest to the blades) and the frozen placed in last.  Blend using the 60 sec. pre-programed button. 

Enjoy!
