Berry Refreshing Lettuce Smoothie

Here is one of my favorite smoothies. It is very light since it is mostly lettuce, so it won’t fill you up like some of the thicker, veggie-full smoothies.

Ingredients:
  • 1 kiwi, peeled, of course
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • seeds from 1/2 pomegranate
  • 1 tangelo or orange, peeled
  • 1 head of red leaf lettuce, washed
  • a handful of watercress
  • 1 kale leaf
  • 1 cup water
As always, put it all in the Vita-Mix. Start on low, variable speed, and turn it up to 10, then high. Enjoy immediately.

Sweet Potato Smoothie

Don’t be skeptical of this list of ingredients. The Vita-Mix will magically turn them into a refreshingly satiating smoothie.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cooked and peeled yam
  • 1 blood orange, peeled
  • 1 tangelo, peeled
  • seeds from 1/2 pomegranate
  • a small thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger, peeled
  • 3 pitted Medjool dates
  • 1 apple
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup ice
