Does anyone have a favorite "Green Drink" recipe? I'm looking for some more good additions to mine, it's pretty basic so far :)

Elizabeth,
Right now there are so many "tonic" herbs that are coming up. Plantain, mints, chickweed, sorrel, fennel, even nettles. I just throw them into the blender with some apple, grapefruit or pineapple juice and whirl out a delicious green drink.

I like to start with a banana, it makes it smoother, then whatever frozen fruit I have that I froze from my trees and bushes, then whatever greens I have -kale, spinich, collards etc, then flax oil or chia seeds, blend and done.

I use elderberry concentrate. I had it to juices and smoothies. I have not had the flu, yet.

I make green smoothies in my Vitamix. Usually whatever frozen fruit I have on hand (strawberries, bananas) a bit of Greek yogurt, wheat germ, flax seed, water & ice. Blend then toss in a few hand fulls of spinach.
I've tried mustard greens, they're too bitter for me. Spinach is so nice & smooth.

I love green smoothies-
1 banana (or handful of other fruit)
a handful of spinach, plus a bit of whatever else is on hand (spinach makes the best tasting green drinks in my opinion)
water
a few ice cubes
a tbl. flax seeds
a tbl. honey
and a tbl. coconut oil
Blend and enjoy!
Blessings,
Catherine :)

I love green smoothies too! I have been drinking them ever since I was 9 or 10 and just love them! Here is mine:
2 bananas
2 cups of fruit such as strawberrys, blueberrys, etc when in season.
a cup or so of water
some type of green such as spinach, kale, dandelions, etc.
a little bit of honey and blend all together! After a work out I like to add a few flax seeds and coconut oil. :)
Hugs!!
