Ingredients
- 1 banana, sliced ($.019)
- 1 apple, cored, cubed ($0.60)
- 1 celery rib, chopped ($0.15)
- Handful baby spinach ($0.20)
- 1/2 cup English cucumber, chopped ($.055)
- Handful Romaine lettuce, chopped ($0.20)
- 1-2 sprigs mint, leaves only ($0.15)
- 1 small lemon, juice only ($0.00) from the garden
- 1-2 cups water ($0.00)
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients.
- Add about a cup of water to the blender. (You can add a little more later.) Next add everything in the blender starting with the thickest greens and ending with fruit.
- Blend on high until completely pureed. (If the blender stalls or gets “stuck”, stop it and use a spatula to help it along.) If smoothie is too thick add little more water to reach desired consistency. Squeeze the lemon juice and quickly blend.
- Serve right away. Enjoy! (If the smoothie starts to separate, use a spoon to mix together.)
Recipe Notes
* Note regarding pricing: The lemon used in this recipe is from our garden which is why there is no price listed. The price for the items such as celery takes into account the cost of the amount used for the recipe and not the cost if you had to purchase the entire item. ** All prices in US dollars.
