Here is how you make Slammin' Green Smoothie:

In a blender, add all ingredients. Its helpful to add spinach then half the water as the last two. Begin by pulsing several times until the mixture and blades begin to "grab" at the spinach leaves. Then blend until all is incorporated, and the spinach has been really "lost" in the mixture. Check the consistency adding the rest of the water or more if you like. Serving Size: When served in a large glass filled with ice will actually make two glasses so its filling and satisfying for one, or a quick, protein filled pick-me up for two.
