Savory Smoothies

Savory Smoothies: Not in the mood for a “sweet” Green Smoothie? Try this variation. This was demonstrated and tasted at the January meeting.

Dr. Oz Green Drink Recipe
 · 2 apples, cored
· 2 big handfuls of spinach
· ½ cup of chopped parsley
· 1 celery stalk, chopped
· 1 thumbnail length of ginger root, peeled
· 1 lemon/lime – juice only (use peel slice for zest)
· 1 medium cucumber
· 4oz spring water or a handful of ice cubes

Place ingredients in a blender then puree quickly for one minute. Makes two glasses of Dr. Oz’s green drink. The green drink has a strong taste and if you are used to drinking soda or sweet teas, the taste will take some getting used to. Dr. Oz suggests adding other items at first to sweeten the green drink to your taste.

Green drink – Optional ingredients;
· 2nd cucumber
