My Favorite Basic Green Smoothie

Let's face it - Green Smoothies can range from super easy to super...green.  This is a super easy recipe and one that is universally liked.  

2-3 cups of filtered water

1 large banana

1 clementine

5-6 frozen strawberries

1-2 cups of spinach (or kale or any other greens you prefer)

A little bit of agave or a stevia packet

Blend the spinach first.  Then add the fruits.  If you don't have a high powered blender, let the strawberries thaw a little bit so that it doesn't break.  Blend well and enjoy!
