Instructions

Place all ingredients in a high-powered blender, blend until smooth.
Add water as needed until the smoothie reaches your preferred consistency.

Notes

A note about this smoothie: If you don’t have a high-powered blender, you may need to chop the fruits and veggies up very finely and blend it for quite a while. The texture will still likely not be very smooth, but the flavor should be the same.
