My Green Smoothie

Below is my tried and true, very basic green smoothie recipe that always tastes good. It has only a few ingredients and makes just the right amount (32oz). The beauty of this recipe is that you can use it as a template to create your own perfect smoothie. Try adding different ingredients as well (carrots, avocado, celery, flax seed oil, wheat germ, flax seed, chia seed, etc...).  You can also try adding more greens and less fruit.  The more greens the better!
