Updated Electric Green Lemonade Recipes (juice/smoothie combo)

I love green smoothies, but I have found that I have been loving juicing lately too ...problem with juicing is you lose the fiber.  So, I've been playing around with my favorite green juice recipe and have a really delicious juice/smoothie combo that retains all the fiber of the greens.

Ingredients:

3 apples

2 lemons

1 head of romaine lettuce

3 leaves of kale or collards (if you are new to green drinks, I would either skip this or use 1 leaf)

1 knob of ginger

1 clove of garlic

1 dropper full of marine phytoplankton (optional)

I juiced the apples and lemons and then poured the juice into my blender with the remaining ingredients plus 1 cup of water (I added the marine phytoplankton after blending).  The result == fantastic!  I still have my favorite juice and now can enjoy the benefits of the fiber including helping to slow the absorption of the sugar from the apples into my bloodstream so I don't get the big sugar high ;-)

Enjoy!
