Now that the weather is starting to warm up, refreshing, “cooler” foods are coming to mind. For me, smoothies are in order. Yesterday I concocted something different I wanted to share…it was fabulous! It’s made with both raw baby greens AND green tea. Lots of fruit is added for sweetness. It’s filling and delicious. Here’s the recipe followed by my YouTube video showing how it’s made. Enjoy! Judi
Two Green Fruit Smoothie
Makes about 2 Cups
12 whole almonds (raw, not roasted nor salted)

1 rounded teaspoon of milled chia seeds or flax seeds
1 cup (8 oz) freshly brewed plain green tea, cooled

Place all ingredients into a blender in the order listed. Process until smooth. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
