Green Apple Pie Smoothie

This one's a goodie! I like to juice my greens and celery, but sometimes I just really want a thick and creamy green smoothie. I love blending in things like celery and kale, because I like having those little chewy bits as I'm drinking. Weird, I know... With those super-powered blenders, you'll get a much smoother liquid consistency, but I prefer to use a bullet blender to keep some of the pieces for texture.
The ingredients were a toss-together this morning when I was in a rush, but I'm extremely happy with the end result! It's not too sweet, it's on the decadent side, and has some amazing stuff in it.

Green Apple Pie Smoothie

Ingredients:

• 1 granny smith apple
• 4 small pitted dates (or 1 regular sized date, pitted)
• 3 leaves of kale (the smaller leaves near the center of the plant are the least bitter - these are best for use in smoothies!)
• 2 stalks of celery, bottoms and tops trimmed off
• 1 tbsp peanut butter
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp coconut sugar
• Enough water to cover all ingredients (I made this smoothie in two batches, as the bullet blender could only hold half of the ingredients at a time)

Method:

• Blend all, and enjoy! :)
