Recipe of the Month: Green Drink

      Happy Saturday! I hope everyone had a great week and a great Fourth of July! Today my mom and brother and I tried something new: Dr. Oz's Green Drink. It's not exactly the easiest (or cheapest) thing to make, nor is it the tastiest, but it's high in fiber and low-calorie. We've never been the type of people to eat super-healthy stuff and make juices and smoothies with spinach, but it was interesting to think of all the benefits in drinking the juice! Here's how to make it:


Ingredients

Makes 3-4 servings (about 28-30 oz)

2 cups spinach
1/2 cucumber
1/4 head of celery
1/2 bunch parsley
1 bunch mint
3 carrots (I ate all our carrots this week, so our drink didn't have any. Oops!)

2 apples

1/4 orange
1/4 lime
1/4 lemon
1/4 pineapple
We also added 1/4 cup of protein powder!

Directions
Combine all ingredients in a blender. Serve and enjoy!

The end result:

      I'm not going to lie, it was really hard for me to drink the whole glass. The taste, the color, the smell...let's just say it was a one-time-only drink. But maybe you'll enjoy it more than I did!

Carpe Diem,
Brooke
