Mint Julep Think of this drink as summertime in a glass. Though the name traditionally has a less-than-healthy connotation, this vi- tamin-rich twist on the theme will leave partakers refreshed and energized. Celery and mint make for a smooth and clean taste, while delivering essential nutrients and properties known to help lower blood pressure. Bottoms up!
1 stalk celery 1 handful mint leaves 2–3 handfuls spinach 1 apple
Combine ingredients and juice.
Guavacado Guavas can be hard to come by and vary in size, shape and texture. Sort the seeds before dropping the ingredients into the blender, as some may be too hard to break up and should go into the composter. Also, some guava skin can be thick and bitter; test a bit of its zest before blending.
1 cup guava 1 avocado 1 cup mango 1 lemon (juice) Water
Add all ingredients. Blend until smooth, adding water as needed.
Strawberry Patch This sweet treat is an easy way to intro- duce dark greens like collards into your diet. Collards have a strong, distinct flavor when cooked, but when blended raw among earthy-sweet and tropical flavors like kiwi and strawberry, they can add a spicy zing to a fruit smoothie. Mangoes enhance the health benefits with enzymes that aid digestion, glu- tamine for memory power, and heart- healthy antioxidants.
3 strawberries 1 mango 1 kiwi 3 large basil leaves 2 large collard leaves (remove stems) Water
Fill blender with as much water as desired. Add collard greens and basil. Blend until smooth, and then add fruit. Pulse-blend to a desired consistency.

Greens Lover
The good-for-you factor in salads is often diminished by introducing salad oils and dressings, sacrificing some health benefits for taste, but not so with this drink. The fiber-rich kale and the veritable powerhouse of vitamins in spinach pair with sweet carrots and a tart green apple, juiced to a harmonious balance of taste and nutrition.
3 leaves kale 1 bunch cilantro 1 cup spinach 1 cucumber 1–2 carrots 1 green apple
