The Amazon Rainforest Smoothie

So I got this really cool smoothie maker for christmas, and have been experimenting a bit. I have been trying to find the perfect recipe for the perfect green smoothie. As I was studying in the library, reading about the indigenous people in the Amazon rainforest, I had a realisation. I ran straight to the shop and back to my flat. When you sit and read about forests and plants, lots of green stuff is happening in your mind (not in that kinda way), and suddenly the perfect green smoothie recipe pops into your head. Never happened with you before? Well, that is why you are reading this blog right? So you can make the perfect green smoothie!

The thing is you kinda need a blender or a mixer of some sort, so if you don't have it, you can stop reading right now, or get a very cheap one from amazon, it is very handy trust me. If you have some fruit or veg leftovers you can just put it in the mixer, some left over cranberry juice you didn't manage to finish from saturday when you where making vodka-cranberry for predrinks (because you make it so strong...), make a smoothie/juice and bam you have something yum and healthy, but the best part: you didn't throw away any food.

Ingredients

Juice from half a lemon

One green apple

1 celery stick

1/5 of a cucumber ish

Slightly less than a handful of curly kale or spinach

Some fresh ginger

Juice (not cranberry in this case, cus you want it to be green, so it could be orange juice, pineapple juice, or like I did: a bit of pineapple, orange and lemon squash mixed with water).

Cut the apple, celery and the cucumber into cubes, grate the ginger, squeeze the lemon juice and shove this in the mixer with the rest and well, yea mix, surprisingly enough. 

Remember this before you mix: peel the strings of the celery as they can be a bit annoying to drink, watch out for lemon seeds and no kale sticks. 

I am enjoying mine right now, and it is so yum!! :D
