Good and Green


~Sunday, August 26, 2012

Eating the required servings of vegetables in maintaining a good diet can be challenging.  Juicing them is much easier when you’re pressed for time. A vegetable smoothie can also serve as a great afternoon “pick-me-up” in between meals.  This is usually the time of day my husband prepares his vegetable drink, or what he frequently refers to as liquid gold! I am always instructed to drink it right away when all the ingredients are still “alive.”


Ingredients (Serves 5)

1  cup (packed) organic baby spinach, rinsed
6  stalks organic celery, halved and rinsed
2  cups orange juice


Place all the ingredients into the Vitamix, set machine on low (Variable 3), slowly increasing to a higher setting (Variable 10), then to HIGH.  Blend on HIGH for approximately 1 minute.  Serve immediately.
