Makes 3 servings

Ingredients
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
Directions
  1. 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.

  2. Gradually add the greens, stems and all, blending thoroughly after each addition.

  3. Eat the egg with it for a higher protein count to make it a complete meal.

  4. 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.

  5. Also, the oil content helps you to not get hungry between meals.

  6. Please make sure you rotate your greens -- eating the same greens (or reds) all the time can cause problems.
