Green Fruity Smoothie...YUM

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend.  We were able to get a lot of things done around here, even though the weatherman said it was supposed to "rain" all weekend...not a drop. Go figure.  Anyway, here is a yummy recipe by Standard Process for a Green Fruity Smoothie and in perfect time for this hot and humid weather we're having!  This will be helpful to all you guys on the cleanse too.

Green Fruity Smoothie!

• 1 packet of SP Complete and/or Whey Pro Complete
• 1/2 inch fresh ginger root, peeled and diced, chilled
• 2 bananas, peeled, chilled
• 1 apple, cored and unpeeled, chilled
• 1 pear, cored and unpeeled, chilled
• 1 navel orange, peeled, chilled
• 2 handfuls kale, stems removed, chilled
• 2 handfuls baby spinach, chilled
• 1 or 2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice, chilled

Wash and prepare the fruits, leaves, and ginger root.  Blend ginger root, bananas, apple, pear and orange until smooth.  Add 1 cup orange juice and SP Complete and/or Whey Pro Complete packets (or scoops if you don't have the packets), blend until smooth.  Add spinach and kale leaves.  Blend for a minute or two.  Smoothie should be thick; if it is too thick, add more orange juice. Enjoy!
