Ingredients
1 cup Kale
.5 cup Celery
1 Banana [85 to 130 grams]
1 Granny Smith Apple
1 tbsp Ground Chia Seeds
.5 cup Apple Juice
4 Ice Cubes

Do this:

Using your blender, blend the ice cubes first.  Then place each item into your blender and blend on a high setting.  I generally never blend more than 60 seconds.

I like this particular smoothie because it hits the nutritional bases.  You're getting 2 grams of polyunsaturated fat from the ground chia seeds, plenty of Vitamins A/C/K and plenty of potassium as well.  I use this smoothie as a compliment to my diet, not as a replacement for healthy eating.
