Bug Bite Smoothie

Garnish this smoothie with some plump, sweet blackberries and call them bugs. Drink that smoothie down or the bugs will bite you! Okay, this may only work with children who are used to sarcasm and silliness. Please don’t scare the neighbors’ kids. In any event, get them involved in washing and mixing the ingredients, and use organic produce whenever possible.

2 cups green leaf lettuce

4 mint leaves

1 cup blackberries, plus some for garnish

2 medium apples of choice, peeled and cored

2 cups unsweetened almond milk

1–2 teaspoons raw honey, optional
