*Unless you have a high speed blender like a highly recommended Vita-mix, please small dice each fruit or vegetable. You may have to half the recipes to fit your standard blender. Also, these are just guidelines, so if you don’t like a particular item, take it out or use less.
As seen in the photograph, recipes are listed clockwise starting from my favorite basic green drink at the bottom.

blender), ½” knob of ginger peeled and minced, 6 mint sprigs chopped, 1 cup

together.
