Tropical Green Smoothie

Maybe you over celebrated during the holidays and are feeling like you want to get back on track. If so, this smoothie is a great start. The recipe is inspired by one of Angela Liddon's recipes. 

I added twice the amount of greens Angela's recipe called for because greens are so good for our hair, skin, bones and blood vessels. I also added more ginger because of the anti-inflammatory properties it has. The  pineapple brings great taste and copper, calcium, magnesium and Vit C to boost our immune system. A small frozen banana adds the texture of the smoothie and the sweetenss it provides.  Enjoy!
