Green Smoothie



This smoothie is a new version of my breakfast smoothie ... I like smoothies for breakfast. It works for me!

My base is a handful of soaked/sprouted almonds with a cup of water (or I use the water used in soaking the almonds, but you can also use green tea, almond milk, yogurt, aloe vera juice ... most any liquid you prefer).

To the base I add some greens:
- a handful of spinach
- a couple leaves of kale
- a carrot top (less if they are large as the taste gets too strong if there is too much carrot tops in the smoothie)
- a plant or two of purslane/portulaca

1/2 apple quartered, frozen - complete with core (pear is nice instead of apple)
1 slice raw, frozen pineapple
1 Tbsp. coconut oil
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1-2 Tbsp raw cacao nibs
1/16 tsp.stevina powder for added sweetness, optional
4-5 ice cubes

Blend until smooth & enjoy!

Any combination works. Experiment with it to find your favorite mix.
