Green Drinks

I got a Magic Bullet for Christmas in this strange attempt to maybe add a little healthiness in my life. My son loves banana smoothies as do I and I wanted to try out Dr. Oz's green drink. It's supposed to be super healthy and surprising good. I looked up the ingredients, but had to quarter the recipe since I was using a little Magic Bullet. This is what I came up with.

Dr. Oz's green drink

It didn't really make much and the cup was totally filled. Since it was my first time with the Bullet, I really had no idea how much I could stuff in there. It was way too thick in that the consistency was a bit nauseating, but all in all it had a really good flavor! I was really surprised. I'll have to try it again, but maybe add a little apple juice to make it more drink like. I have 3 more containers that I haven't used yet.

Here is the recipe if you're interested in trying this. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Since the recipe is for 3-4 servings and I'm only 1 person with a Magic Bullet, I divided the recipe up into fourths and put each fourth into a container. That way I could just dump everything in whenever I wanted and not have to chop.

My ingredients cut into quarters

2 cups spinach
2 cups cucumber
2 stalks of celery
1/2 inch or teaspoon ginger root
1 bunch parsley
2 apples
Juice of 1 lime
Juice of 1/2 lemon
