Watercress Citrus Green Smoothie

Though this peppery green tasting smoothie might not be for everyone, I just loved every sip of it. Next to arugula, watercress is one of my favorite greens. It is packed with health-promoting nutrients and has such a wonderful flavor. If, however, you don't like a green taste or your kid is going to have a glass too, you might want to swap some or all of the watercress with spinach!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups watercress substitute half with spinach for milder green taste
  • 2 apple cored and roughly chopped
  • 2 orange
  • 1 cup cucumber roughly chopped
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tsp chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 lime/lemon juice only (use less if using lemon)

Instructions

  • Blend watercress, spinach (if using) and water until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and blend again. If the smoothie is too thick for you, add more liquid base. If you have a high-speed blender you can throw in everything at once.
  • Optional: top with superfoods - such as goji berries, cacao powder/nibs, or hemp hearts - if you like.

Notes

TIP: Use one or more frozen fruit(s) to chill the smoothie. Or use ice cubes instead.
