Left Lemon Green Smoothie Recipe
www.leftlemon.com
| 1 | c water |
| 1/4 | t cayenne |
| 2 | tbsp lemon juice or juice of one lemon |
| 1 | banana |
| 1 | tbsp vinegar |
| 1/3 | c olive oil |
| 1/2 | c berries |
| 1 | tbsp rosemary |
| 1 | (oz) grade B maple syrup (to taste) |
| 2 | oz raw red chard or kale |
| 8 | oz raw hard greens (collards, kale, chard, etc.) |
| 1 | Egg, cooked |
- Put everything except the leaves into a blender container and blend thoroughly. Add more cayenne until you can feel a bit of heat but it's not too hot to eat.
- Gradually add the greens, stems and all, blending thoroughly after each addition.
- Eat the egg with it for a higher protein count to make it a complete meal.
- This recipe makes two to three servings. Share with a housemate, or cover and refrigerate some for tomorrow. The oil content not only helps your liver function better, but it works as a preservative to keep your smoothie from going bad too quickly.
- Also, the oil content helps you to not get hungry between meals.
- Please make sure you rotate your greens -- eating the same greens (or reds) all the time can cause problems.
