5 KEY LIME PIE GREEN SMOOTHIE 2 tbsp key lime juice (about 4 limes) 1 tsp key lime zest (about 2 limes) 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk 1 ripe frozen banana ¼ tsp alcohol-free vanilla extract 2 drops liquid stevia or 1 tbsp ground xylitol or 1 pitted medjool date 1 tbsp sunflower butter 2 cups organic baby spinach 4 ice cubes 1 minute vanilla whipped topping (optional) gluten-free graham cracker pieces (optional) Place in your blender in the order of the ingredients listed, then blend for 30 seconds or until smooth.

6 THE SIMPLE GREEN FRUIT SMOOTHIE 1 large orange, peeled and segmented ½ of a large banana, cut into chunks 6 large strawberries 2 cups spinach 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (I use Chobani 0%) 1 cup ice Put all of the ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve. I use our Blendtec Blender which is a very powerful machine. Make sure you use a powerful blender that will puree the orange, spinach, ice, etc. I like to store one serving of the smoothie in the freezer for later. Pour in an air-tight container and freeze. Make sure you take the smoothie out of the freezer about 30 minutes before you want to drink it. You can also store the smoothie in the refrigerator
