Course:

This super-green shake is surprisingly delicious despite the unusual combination of sweet basil, spinach, and raspberries. Shake it up once in a while!

Basil has many health benefits one of which is to clear skin blemishes. There are over 60 varieties of basil. We grow our own basil, so we cut it as we need it in various recipes. We add it to our sauce, shakes, and omelets with some feta cheese. You feta believe it’s good!

Directions:
Wash 3 large basil leaves and pat dry. Wash a small handful of baby spinach and dry on a paper towel or clean dish towel.

To the blender add the orange juice, bananas, basil leaves, spinach, half of a freshly lemon squeezed, raspberries, a squeeze of honey and crushed ice. Blend the ingredients until no more ice chunks remain. If you like it sweeter, add more honey.

This is a delicious start to your day!
