  • Why do I like it?

I was craving a green smoothie that wasn't sweet, so that means no fruit.  This one was fresh and tasty without any fruit to create sweetness.  It has a tangy, tart taste which is a nice change from the conventional green smoothie.

  • Any recipe notes or tweaks?

I made this while doing a juice/smoothie fast so salt was off limits.  Instead I added some lemon juice for brightness and celery to lend some saltiness.  I added the turmeric root for some punch to make up for the lack of salt.  I omitted the garlic, probiotic powder and liquid aminos as they were not ingredients I wanted to ingest during a juice/smoothie fast.
