I had a great workout today. While I was working out at home, Demetrye went off to the gym and had a power work out also. When he got home we thought it was a good time to refuel our muscles and get ready for a holiday detox at the same time [getting a head start is a great plan]. No better way to detox, of course, than with green smoothies, especially for beginners. While enjoying the sweet taste of fruit we can simultaneously enjoy the benefits of chlorophyll and multiple nutrients found in greens.

So, today's special, and super delicious smoothie was:
Persimmon Smoothie [YUM!]
makes 32 oz [3 servings]
[hand model: my husband]
Ingredients:
*2 cups water
*3 ripe persimmons
*3 stems [with leaves] mint
*4 cups [2 large handfuls] kale [I used purple kale]
*2 tbs hemp seed
*2 strands dulse
-Starting with water add greens add all ingredients into a high speed blender, and blend, slowly increasing speed to highest, until completely smooth.
The smoothie is very refreshing and you won't even know it has greens in it, if you are sensitive, or just starting out. So, enjoy it!
Have a stress free, UNPROCESSED Christmas and a New Year!
Let me know how you are planning to detox and shed extra pounds accumulated this holiday season. I am very interested to know.
