Blended Green Lemonade
This green smoothie features all of the ingredients that I love in my usual green juice, but because it's blended, it still retains all of the fiber of the fruits and vegetables, making it a more filling breakfast option.

Cup of Yum
Notes
- If you do not have access to a high-powered blender, I recommend blending the leafy greens and water first, until they are completely broken down, before adding the fruit and ice to the mix. Also, you may prefer using spinach, rather kale, as it will dissolve into the smoothie more seamlessly.
