Energy Booster Smoothie!

1 apple-pear (it's new! It's at Costco! It tastes like an apple and a pear!)

Kale and spinach (Put more spinach than kale. Otherwise, it gets bitter.)

Half a small zucchini, or a fourth of a large zucchini (I added it just because I had it. You can't taste it.)

Agave nectar (if it isn't sweet enough)

Couple leaves of basil (I like to be able to smell the basil above the other flavors)

Cinnamon

I promise you, cinnamon, basil, and a bit of agave nectar fixes any green smoothie. The basil has a sweetness that you can taste above all the other flavors.

Be careful how much agave and cinnamon you add, though. If you don't keep shaking your green smoothie between sips, they'll sink to the bottom. It'll be cloyingly sweet.
