Green Ginger Smoothie

Yield: 2 servings

An amazingly refreshing cleansing drink.

Great on warm days or when you need extra hydration.

Ingredients

1 ½-2 cups cold Filtered Water (adjust as needed for desired thickness)
1-Inch fresh Ginger, peeled sliced
1 bag fresh Spinach
1 green pear, quartered, seeds removed
2 Celery ribs rough cut
1 cup peeled Persian or Japanese or other “burpless” Cucumber
2 cups Honeydew melon, peeled and seeded
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

Toss it all in the Vitamix or another powerful blender, and blend well.
Add ice cubes if desired but take note: Too much ice waters down the flavor.

Notes

NOTE: Look for melons at the peak of sweetness. Resist the urge to buy non-local for this one. That long travel time shows up the flavor. Trust me, it makes all the difference!
