- 2 cups packed fresh baby spinach
- 1 large apple, cored
- 1 cup diced pineapple
- 1/2 avocado, peeled and pitted
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 3 soft Medjool dates, pitted (I also use Deglet dates and use 4 or 5 depending on size as Medjool are larger.)
- 1 1/4 inch piece fresh tumeric, grated (or use 1/4 tsp ground tumeric)
- 2 tsps blended peeled lemon or lime (see note below)
- 1 T ground flaxseeds
- ice cubes
- some water (optional)
Combine all ingredients in high speed blender until completely smooth. Add 2/3 cup water or a bit more, as needed and ice. Serve asap. This is incredibly healthy and refreshing!
Note: Using either lemon or lime, peel the fruit, then cut in cubes and blend in processor. Use the entire fruit in recipes.
