    I use a blender

    This is my quick easy one:
    6 frozen orange juice ice cubes
    2 clementines
    1 large carrot
    And coconut water (C2O) to add liquids

    Blend until consistency desired if to icy add more C water

    That's just me I'm sure people have better options

    I actually bought frozen spinach for my greens and added that to vanilla protein powder, blueberries and almond milk and it was awesome! Couldn't taste the spinach at all!

    That does sound good! I'm looking for some recipes that incorporate spinach, kale, or celery. I've also done some different juices with cucumber, carrots, and even beets.

    I never thought to freeze orange juice to put in my smoothies. I love this idea! How do you count the calories for it?

    Just started on the smoothie bandwagon but this is my breakfast: Super DETOX Green Cleansing Smoothie.

    Ingredients:
    • 1 cup spinach or torn kale leaves
    • 1 cup torn romaine leaves
    • ½ cup chopped cucumber
    • ½ cup chopped celery
    • 1 small pear (or ½ large), cored and chopped
    • 1 banana, chopped (preferably frozen)
    • 1 cup water or coconut water
    • 1 tablespoon of fresh mint
    • 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley
    • ½ to 1 whole lemon, juiced
    • ½ tablespoon chia seeds
    • ¼-inch slice ginger root, peeled
    • pinch of cayenne, optional
    • pinch of cinnamon, optional
    • pinch of turmeric, optional

    I also add 30g of porridge oats to fill me up and usually switch the pear for an apple and if I'm feeling adventurous swap the banana for half an avocado.

    The main tastes are the lemon juice and cayenne.
