Green Smoothie

I make and drink a pitcher of green smoothie just about every day I'm home.

To make it, put the following ingredients in a blender and blend on high after each addition.
  • 1/2 cup uncooked steel cut oatmeal
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 raw egg
  • 1/2 cucumber
  • 1/4 inch slice of lemon, cut off the ends, leave the skin
  • 1 banana
  • 1 pear
  • 3 leaves of kale
  • 3 leaves cabbage
  • 1 whole carrot
  • 1/2 inch of fresh Ginger root, peeled
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Ceylon cinnamon
  • top off with water or whey
  • a few ice cubes to make it cool if you'd like
