The Green Smoothie World is your oyster Lucy! (Grin) There are so many variations to try...just experiment with different ingredients such as using different greens (romaine hearts, kale, celery, parsley) use cucumbers, bananas, apples, kiwi, flax seeds, avocado, add a zip of lemon or lime...make sure you put enough crushed ice in your mix so it keeps it cold as water doesn't always give it enuf chill it seems....) the list goes on..obviously you are not mixing all these ingredients in one smoothie, but variations of what you enjoy. Once you start it is hard to stop though as they give a tremendous surge of energy.

I've been having at least one green smoothie a day for over a month now and it's amazing. I look forward to getting out of bed in the morning JUST to make that smoothie! :) I also have a 30 days challenge going on at my blog, Happy Foody and a green smoothie Yahoo group with quite a few people/ideas. Come join us! My favorites so far:

Apple/Kale/Frozen Banana/Water

Strawberry/Frozen Banana/Spinach/Water

Pear/Parsley/Mint/Ice/Water

Peeled Orange/Frozen Banana/Kale/Water

Yum yum!
