(Banana, Beet Greens, Blueberries)
Bitter greens, such as dandelion, mustard greens, beet greens, turnip greens, etc., are excellent bases for smoothies. They are particularly detoxifying and digestion stimulating. Include them periodically, even if you add more fruit to balance the bitter.
Blend well:
1 cup beet greens
1 cup chard or spinach (or skip and use another cup of beet greens)
1 cup blueberries
1 mango, peeled
1 banana
2 cups water
1 Tbs olive or other fruit or nut oil (avocado, almond, etc)
Yields 1 quart
