This recipe makes one serving or about one quart. Increase the ingredients to make more servings.

1 Tablespoon green smoothie herb mix (recipe below)
1 small Brussels sprout (or piece of broccoli)
1 inch fat cucumber
½ stalk celery
½ inch cube ginger
½ cup fresh or frozen peas

1 large handful mixed spring greens (or 1 large leaf kale, chard, or collards per person)
1 piece fruit (peach, banana, apple, orange, pineapple, or berries)
1 cup ice
Add powdered stevia or other sweetener until the smoothie tastes good.
