Cucumber Kiwi Green Smoothie Recipe

Here’s a light and delicious green smoothie with delicate flavors that blend well together.

I wanted to use apples because they are a good source of fiber, vitamin C and antioxidants. Studies suggest that apples may protect against osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s disease.

Both kiwifruit and apples are a great source of fiber and the greens help boost the iron.

Cucumber Kiwi Green Smoothie Recipe

• 1 small cucumber, with peel
• 3 kiwifruits, peeled
• 1 apple, cored
• 1/2 bunch of Swiss chard, chopped
• 1/2 head of Romaine lettuce
• 4 to 6 ounces of filtered water

Add all the ingredients except for the lettuce to your blender, (I use a Blendtec) and hit the “pulse” button a few times. Next, add the lettuce and blend on high for 30 seconds or until the smoothie is creamy. Drink immediately as separation will occur if left for later.
