Day 13: Green Morning Sunshine
« Reply #16 on: February 13, 2012, 10:49:53 AM »
Green Morning Sunshine

1 TBS Hemp Seed
1/2 fresh Mango
1 cup fresh Pineapple
4 leaves Lacinato Kale
4 leaves Romaine
2 cups Spinach
1 tsp Spirulina
water to blend

Super creamy and powerfully good! There's no banana but the mango, romaine and hemp seed make this a creamy delight while the lacinato kale and spirulina give it a rich green flavor. Feel free to use different kale for a milder green flavor, or use more romaine/spinach in it's place.
