    Thumbs up Jenna's Green OJ - very simple!

    "I make this most mornings, I love it!! My mother always told me to eat my spinach, but I'd rather drink it! Mmmm! Mom refuses to try this, so I just look at her and say "eat your spinach! It's good for you!" hehe

    Ingredients:

    Juice from 5 larger oranges, or 7 smaller ones
    Juice from 1 medium-large lemon
    Baby spinach -- I usually use prepackaged organic spinach, and I normally squeeze the whole bag into the blender and let her rip. If you buy spinach by the bunch/bulk, I think it would be about 3 large handfulls.

    Blend together and strain. I also scoop off the foam that sits on top.

    This drink is sooo refreshing! You'll feel like a million bucks after drinking it! The lemon gives the sweet OJ a nice tang and adds a sort of "freshness" taste. If you want it to taste even more "fresh", add some parsley! Mmmm! "

    I agree about parsley. I miss it in my smoothies if it is NOT in there. And it is SUCH a superfood!

    To get rid of the foam you can also blend in a (small) piece of avocado.
