I am not sure when I last sat down and ate lunch with a fork.  Thank goodness for yummy green smoothies; if it weren’t for my Vitamix I’d probably be eating trail mix all day.  This one has been my go-to lately.  It is just sweet enough, alkalizing, hydrating and the ginger gives me little jolt.  Enjoy!

| Bare Beauty’s Go-To Green Smoothie | (serves 1)

• 8 oz coconut water
• juice of 1/2 lemon
• large handful of baby spinach or kale
• 1 apple, sliced (I like gala, pink lady, fuji, or honeycrisp apples)
• 1 or 2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
• 1-inch cube of ginger root, peeled
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• small handful of ice cubes

Blend all ingredients together until smooth and drink immediately.

I hope you have a sunny, warm, happy weekend!  And word to yo’ mutha’!  🙂
