Servings 1 serving
Author Kathy Hester

Ingredients

First Blending

  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla nondairy milk
  • 1 cup romaine or other mild lettuce
  • 1 packet lite Energen-C or other vitamin C powder
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 2 small springs fresh parsley
  • 8 drops vanilla stevia or sweetener of your choice, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon cashews
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
  • juice from 1/8 of medium lemon

Second Blending

  • 1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries use 1 cup if you do not have a powerful blender

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients under the first blending heading to your blender and blend until smooth. If you have a high-speed blender, blend until the chia seeds are broken up. This is just for texture so don't worry if you have a not-so-powerful blender.
  • Once that's nice and smooth add the blueberries. If you don't have a high-speed blender I'd add them ½ cup at a time and you may only use 1 cup for it to be as thick as your blender will tolerate.
  • If you have a Vitamix you may need to use your plunger on this final step.
