super green smoothie

I could start each post saying the exact same thing about the recipe. "I found this recipe, love it and can't stop thinking about it." That's the basic story for me and food. If it's delicious, I can't stop thinking about it.

I love smoothies and wanted to get more greens into my day. Normally I'm a chocolate person but I love the tangy-tart feel of this recipe. Once again I find myself having one every morning and then sad I have to wait until the next day to have another. So very yummy!

It seems like a lot of ingredients and time consuming but I cut up everything and add the dry stuff to my ninja at night, put it in the fridge and add the wet and frozen ingredients in the am.

I had one this morning. I want another one....
