immunity energizer smoothie

I've made a kajillion fruity-green smoothies in my day, but I've had a hankering to just jump in and do some zingy, spicy, and mostly veggie ones.

This one fits the bill, and though the kiddiewinks chose not to indulge, Stephen and I really enjoyed our glasses.

Adapted from a recipe in Green Smoothie Revolution.

You'll need:

• 1/2 cucumber
• 1 avocado
• juice of one lemon
• chunk of fresh ginger (you can leave the peel on)
• one garlic clove
• 1/4 leek
• several kale leaves
• fresh seaweed (I found this at my local international market in the produce section)
  
• water, to desired consistency
• chia seeds (a good deal from the Mexican spice section of my int'l market)
  
• ground flax seeds

Do this:

Blend.

Drink.

And then don't be surprised at a sudden energy burst. No lie!
