Leafy Greens and Apples - Freezer Smoothie

My friend Renae shared this recipe for a freezer green smoothie that you can make in advance.  

 

2 qts apple juice

1 bunch kale, 1 bunch collard greens

1-2 c. almonds

6-8 sticks celery

2-4 carrots

4 apples (you can do with or without peel, whatever you prefer)

baby spinach (I did one of those little bags)

4 or more cups of ice

 

You mix some at a time with the liquid and then put it all in a huge bowl to get it all stirred together evenly. Then pour into mason jars and freeze. 

Chalene Johnson's Berry and Nut Salad

This recipe comes from Chalene Johnson's new book "PUSH".  I have been reading it over the past few days and so far I am smitten with her ideas, recipes, and goal setting challenges.  I highly recommend it!  This makes a very large salad around 350-400 calories.

2 cups of spring mix

1 cup spinach

1/2 cup raspberries

1/2 cup blackberries

1 cut up fuji apple

some chopped up raw almonds

a sprinkling of feta or blue cheese (optional)

a drizzle of Newman's Own Light Balsamic Dressing (my favorite for spinach salads!)
