2 Pears, peeled and cored
2 Apple, peeled and cored
3 Cups water

Orange Smoothie

2 Oranges, peeled
1 banana, peeled
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup apple juice
2 Tbsp honey
3 cups ice

Place oranges in blender first, followed by other ingredients. Add ice last and slowly waiting for mixture to liquefy. May add a little water or pure juice to create desired cosistency.

Green Smoothie

8 oz Pure Apple Juice (No sugar added)
1 banana
3 Strawberries (fresh or frozen
1 Tbs Flaxseed Oil
2 Big handfuls of Spinach
1 handful of ice

Blend on high for 30 seconds.
This recipe is so yummy. You’ll never taste the spinach, even kids beg for more. You can substitute the strawberries for blueberries, raspberries, or mangos. You can substitute the Apple Juice for 100% Grape Juice or 100% Pineapple Juice.
