red and green smoothie

Do you need an afternoon "pick me up"?
 
With young children and a few more hours until dinner time, I sure do!
 
Here I have a red and green smoothie: 
kale, cabbage, beet and fruit...delish!
 
Remember: layer the fresh ingredients (lighter) at the bottom near the blades and the frozen ingredients (heavier) at the top.  The weight at the top of the container will assist the blending process by naturally pushing the light ingredients into the blades.  You also have a tamper to help push the ingredients down when the machine is in operation.  I also recommend the smoothie contain some liquid and frozen ingredients. 
 
use the tamper to gently push the ingredients towards the blades
 

nice and smooth after using the 60 second button

the omnibled blender buttons are easy to use

 
 
ENJOY your HEALTHY afternoon snack!
