What's that green stuff you're drinking?

I love green smoothies especially this recipe. I was face timing my sister one day and whilst talking to her I was enjoying the fresh deliciousness of my green smoothie, she looked at me, asked what it was, I told her and she greeted me with a face that suggested that one of these power packed morsels was never going to pass her lips.

So what is in my smoothie? It's mostly vegetables, yes that's right VEGES! I had seen Dr Oz create a smoothie on his show and decided to give it a try and I loved it, I did have to modify the recipe as kale is not readily available in New Zealand at a price I believe is fair, so I replace kale with either spinach or silverbeet.

Here's the recipe: take everything you see in the picture below, throw it into a blender add two cups of water and whizz away! It makes around 4 standard glasses.
