Blended greens

This is one of our favorite blended green smoothies. The Banana allows the broccoli to be tolerable.  I try not to add bananas to to many of my green smoothies because of the high glycemic value. However, Im not gonna lie, Banana makes anything delish. 

This recipe will be for one smoothie.  I dont typicaly measure anything out when it comes to juicers/blended drinks. But my typical rule of thumb is 1 handful or more of each veggie to 1/2 of fruit serving. Usually after blending, if theres still room in my cup, I will always add more veggies.

Also I always add chia seeds.  Chia seeds do not have flavor but take on the flavor of anything they are added to. Chia seeds when soaked turn to a gel. There are alot of added benefits for just using a tbls of chia seeds to any recipe.

1 handful baby spinach
1 handful of broccoli
1 apple
1/2 banana
1 tbsp chia seed

In this recipe there are two things Im doing that might be different from others you have read.  This recipe  juiced the apple, therefore I used 1 whole apple.  I used the apple juice for the liquid portion of the juicer. Added all other ingredients and blend all together
