Green Smoothie

• Small piece of ginger
• ½ lime squeezed
• 3 leaves of kale, chard, or collards
• 2 stalks of celery
• 1 zucchini
• ½ cucumber
• Handful string beans
• Handful cilantro
• 2 cups apple juice
• 1 apple

Place in blender and blend until smooth and drink. If your blender is not strong enough, use the ingredients in a juicer to make a juice.

If you have difficulty tolerating the green smoothie you can place all of the ingredients in a saucepan and bring the apple juice to a boil and then blend the lightly blanched ingredients.
