Smoothie of the Week: Carrot- Apple Green Smoothie

Carrots and apples are a great sweet, fresh combo that measure up against bugs going around this time of the year-- and parsley is a boon for anyone with 'iron deficiency'.  Some people may find this a  little hard to digest.  In that case, be sure to take your enzymes somewhere in the process (before, during and immediately after drinking the smoothie).

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh-juiced apple juice (or regular organic apple juice if necessary)
• 1 cup of sliced apple (Pink Ladies are a winner for this smoothie!)
• 1/4 cup raw applesauce (a cored apple chopped into the blender)
• 1/2 cup fresh organic chopped carrots
• 1/2 cup of fresh organic Parsley
• 2 cups of ice
• Blend this vegetable smoothie until smooth.
