How Do You Fire Up Your Day?

No mid-morning or afternoon slump for you!  A green drink is a healthy and great-tasting way to start your day off right--and then keep the energy going all day.

You can make yours with any combination of veggies and fruits, including spinach, kale, cucumbers, kiwi, bananas, lemons, limes and more.

Need more ideas?  Make the breakfast drink that Dr. Oz swears by! This "green drink" is high in fiber, low-calorie and rich in vitamins.

Ingredients
2 cups spinach
2 cups cucumber
1 head of celery
1/2 inch or teaspoon ginger root
1 bunch parsley
2 apples
Juice of 1 lime
Juice of 1/2 lemon


Directions
Combine all ingredients in a blender. This makes approximately 28-30 ounces, or 3-4 servings.
