In the realm of healthy and refreshing beverages, the emerald smoothie stands as a vibrant and revitalizing creation. This captivating drink derives its name from its brilliant green hue, reminiscent of precious emerald gemstones. Crafted with a symphony of nutrient-rich ingredients, the emerald smoothie offers a delightful fusion of flavors, colors, and textures. Its composition often includes leafy greens like kale or spinach, providing a boost of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Accompanied by a medley of fruits, such as bananas, avocados, and mangoes, the emerald smoothie imparts a sweet and creamy texture with a burst of natural sweetness.

"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!
