Far Out Green Smoothies

It's not easy being green. Especially when you are a frozen beverage.

This refreshing smoothie might easily get overlooked due to its odd ingredients and strange color---but don't be too quick to pass up this delightful little concoction.

Try something new today! Stuff your lettuce in the blender and whip up a Lettuce Orangeade Smoothie!


1/2 cup orange juice
2 tsp. artificial sweetener
4 large lettuce leaves
2 sprigs fresh parsley
crushed ice

Puree in blender. Makes 2 servings.

It's surprisingly delicious and magically nutritious. And if you spill any of it on your lime green shag carpet, it will blend right in. Cheers!
