2 Kale lettuce leaves, organic 2 Collard Green leaves, organic ½ lemon with seeds removed (If you have a heavy duty blender, you can throw lemons in with rind still on if the lemon is organic.) 1 tsp. sea salt or Celtic sea salt 2 Tbsp. soaked flax seeds or 1 Tbsp. ground flax seeds 1 dash cayenne pepper (optional) 1 banana ½ apple (or fruit of your choice), organic 12 - 14 oz. water
Directions 1. Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
Tips Add 3-4 ice cubes for a cold drink and substitute mango for apple. Soak flax seeds overnight by placing in small glass bowl and covering with water. Seeds will soak up water. Prepare enough soaked flax seeds for the week. They will remain fresh in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you are using a Vita Mix or another industrial blender, you will not need to removed spines and stems from Kale or Collard Greens. If you are using a kitchen blender, you may need to remove the spines and stems in order to get a smooth consistency. Pineapple is amazing as your second fruit. Add 4-5 chunks.
