The Live Green Smoothie Diet

Lemon juice made by running whole organic lemons through the juicer... rich, tart, and very lemony!

p

I picked up a beautiful bunch of organic lemons this week and thought they’d make a great lemonade…which I incorporated into this extremely wakifying Live Green Smoothie recipe!

I juiced the lemons whole through the juicer, which allows me to get all those scrumptiously healthful bioflavanoids in the peel and pith, but you can bypass that step if you’re in a rush or feeling lazy and just squeeze the lemons by hand. Won’t taste the same, though… it’ll lack the flavor and energetic “zing” that comes from juicing them whole. But, well… it’s good to know one can take shortcuts when the day requires it. 

I used collard greens here, but if you don’t have collards on hand certainly you can substitute another mild-tasting dark leafy green instead. Parsley would taste great, spinach of course, and kale or baby romaine would also work.

As for the Goji Berries… hey, they’re the King of Health in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and any way you can slip some into your smoothies and other raw recipes is a great investment in your health, especially your immune system during these tricky times.
