Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 organic ripe green apple cut into chunks, core discarded
- 1 organic ripe green pear cut into chunks, core discarded
- 2 cups organic roughly chopped fresh kale or spinach
- 1/2 cup organic roughly chopped fresh mint
- 20 chilled green or moscato grapes
- 12 Ice cubes
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon stevia or 1 tbsp agave nectar, or more to taste (we use 1 packet of Truvia)
- 1 lime (juiced, or more to taste)
Instructions
- Pour 1 ½ cups cold water into the blender. Add one small handful of the apple and pear chunks. Blend till the mixture is thoroughly liquid. Continue adding the apple and pear chunks in small handfuls, blending each handful one at a time, till all of the fruit chunks are blended in.
- Add the greens and mint, one handful at a time, and blend in batches till all of the greens have been blended in. Add the grapes, ice cubes, cinnamon, agave or stevia and lime juice. Blend till the ice cubes are thoroughly crushed and the mixture is smooth. I blend it for at least 1 minute to make sure all of the greens are totally pulverized.
- Serve. Though it’s enough for 3 medium servings, my husband and I divide this recipe between 2 large mugs. There is always a little left over after we fill our glasses, which we usually polish off between the two of us. This recipe is the best health tonic ever. Each time we drink it we feel refreshed, energized and ready to take on the day.
- Note: Make sure you follow the steps in the order suggested. If you simply cram all the ingredients into the blender at once, they won't blend properly.
Notes
- You will also need: A blender (powerful blender like a Vitamix is best, but any countertop blender will do)
