CANDIDA GLOWING GREEN SMOOTHIE™
This is the version of the Glowing Green Smoothie™ that’s perfect if you’re a Blossoming
Beauty or suspect you may have Candida. Green apples like Granny Smith apples are
sour and low in sugar. Feel free to add as much liquid stevia as you need to make your
smoothie delicious.
As with the regular Glowing Green Smoothie™, I encourage you to mix and match your
greens. Whatever you do, don’t add grapefruit, another low sugar fruit. I tried that once
with a client, and he told me it was absolutely horrendous. Your best bet for your one
lower-in-sugar fruit choice is to stick with the green apple, unless you want to try going
all green. It’s the new black.
INGREDIENTS: YIELD: ABOUT 24 OZ DIRECTIONS:
• 1 cup very cold, filtered water
• 3 cups spinach, chopped
• 1 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1 cup organic cucumber or organic celery, chopped
• 1 organic green apple, cored and chopped
• 2 Tbs. fresh organic lemon juice
• Liquid stevia, to taste
Add the water and chopped head of romaine to the blender. Starting the blender on a ow speed, blend until smooth.
Gradually moving to higher speeds, add the green apple and stevia. Taste the smoothie, and add as much stevia as you like.
Enjoy!
