I have been branching out lately, trying new green drink options since I'm drinking a minimum of a quart of green drinks a day. I stumbled on a recipe at a smoothie shop but didn't love it--the idea sounded good though so I went home, played with it and made some changes. We're moving soon so I pulled out the individual serving coconut water and threw one in. I tossed in chia seeds because they're AMAZING, I used Doterra Essential Lemon instead of fresh lemon juice because of the concentrated power, and I omitted the apple because I don't like the texture in green drinks. Voila, I my new favorite green drink! This one is a great powerhouse greendrink for several reasons:
All raw to keep ph low and bodies happy and healthy
Uses Doterra Lemon essential oil (don't use another brand, Doterra is the only one that can be taken internally) to help strengthen the liver and cleanse it of toxins
Lots of spinach for iron
Chia seeds for Omega3s and LOTS more benefits
Coconut water for electrolyte boost
Sherie's Pear Lemon Green Drink
6 cups lightly packed spinach
1 pear
1 banana
1/4 cup chia seeds (that is an estimate...I just dump)
1-2 dates (remember to take out the seeds)
12 oz coconut water
5-8 drops of Doterra Lemon essential oil
Blend and enjoy!
Note: use a frozen banana/pear and either refrigerate or freeze the coconut water if you want it to be a cool smoothie (during the winter I prefer my green drinks room temperature because I freeze. That's one of the great things about this green drink--it's actually REALLY good at room temperature!! Yey!)
