KL's BOB MARLEY SMOOTHIE

Here's a green smoothie recipe that's a little different than you're used to.
Just 5 ingredients can go a long way and taste so good together!

Prep Time: 5 min
Cook Time: 0 min

Ingredients:

Fresh Mango
Fresh Kiwi
Fresh Orange
Fresh Kush Leaves
Spring Water Ice Cubes

Prep:

Peel 1 mango and remove pit.
Peel the fuzzy skin from 1 kiwi.
Peel a couple of oranges or get a cup of fresh o.j. (not from concentrate is best).
Clip 8-10 leaves from the nearest kush plant you can find.
Grab a handful of Spring Water Ice Cubes.

If the blender (Oster brand is what I have) is good, it'll blend the kiwi seeds too!
