Green Energy- Power rom the Sun

Summer is a great time to eat raw foods and stay away from the hot oven.
Smoothies are great way to quickly, easily and deliciously get a lot of fresh greens and other goodies.
You need a reliable blender (I will be getting a Blendtec or Vitamix soon as my Oster is slowly dying) and a few bottles to store the drinks during the day.
The recipes are just 2 of my current favorites. The options are truly unlimited.

2 Quarts of Tossed Salad

1 head Green or Red Leaf Lettuce ( organic and rinsed)
1 medium cucumber –quartered lengthwise
2 medium tomatoes – quartered
1 medium orange, peeled, quartered
1 frozen banana (fresh OK)
1 Tbs walnut oil
2 Tbs Chia seeds
2 cups frozen berries
1-3 cups water

Put 1 cup of water in blender and start with lettuce and use cucumber to push as needed.
Add remaining items in order. Add small amount of Water to help blend.
Add water to fill blender to full 64 oz.
Drink both quarts throughout the day.
