Recipe Notes

*Use only organic ingredients

** I buy a bag full of prewashed power greens and place it in the freezer for smoothies.

***Cut a fresh pineapple into chunks, and freeze them for smoothies, or buy pre-cut frozen organic pineapple or mango chunks and use them instead. 

****Slice peeled overripe bananas and place slices flat on parchment paper on a cookie sheet in the freezer for 2 hours or overnight.  Once frozen, place in a plastic bag and freeze for future use.
