"EMERALD ECSTASY" GREEN SMOOTHIE
This is the delicious Green Smoothie recipe that I make and serve at my Vita-Mix sales demonstrations. It always "wows the crowd" when something that is so bright green tastes so surprisingly delicious! It is designed for a Vita-Mix so I don't know how it would work in any other kitchen appliance. Add ingredients into the 64 oz. container in the following order:

Steps:
- Turn the machine quickly from variable speed 1 to 10 then flip the switch to high. Push the ingredients down into the blades until the entire mixture is blending. I find it easier to push the food continuously down one corner of the container and eventually it begins to blend. The apple may require a bit of "pounding" before it begins to mix (this is a great anger management recipe! :-).
- When the mixture is first blending it should be so thick and slushy (from the ice) that it is thick like a thick "slushy". If it is too liquid at the beginning, add more ice so it is thick and "slushy". This allows you to blend for 1-2 minutes without warming the drink up from the friction of the blades. It also allows you to break the foods down to the most bioavailable (cellular) level.
- This is a "beginner" Green Smoothie that 98% of the population will love!

- Experiment with Different Fruits and Vegetables: There are endless possibilities when it comes to smoothie ingredients. Experiment with different fruits, vegetables, and even herbs to find your favorite combinations.
- Use Frozen Fruit: Frozen fruit is a great way to add thickness and creaminess to your smoothie without watering it down.
- Add Protein Powder: If you're looking for a more filling smoothie, add a scoop of protein powder.
- Sweeten It Naturally: If you need to sweeten your smoothie, use natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar.
- Add Healthy Fats: Adding healthy fats, such as avocado or almond butter, can help you feel fuller and more satisfied after drinking your smoothie.
- Don't Overblend: Overblending can make your smoothie too thin and watery. Blend just until the ingredients are smooth and creamy.
