Zippity-Go-Green Smoothie

This is our second attempt at juicing vegetables for a morning smoothie. Yes, it makes a mess. Yes, it takes quite a load of fruits/veggies to produce 1 serving. Yes, it's worth it! The flavors in this smoothie will make your mouth SING! The jalapeno adds the zip, but if you're sensitive to spicy flavors you could use a green bell pepper which would add more sweetness.
1 Granny Smith apple, quartered
1 pear, quartered
1 lime
4 leaves kale
4 sticks celery
1 cucumber (skin on)
1 jalapeno pepper, whole
1 small bunch parsley
1 small bunch cilantro

If you don't have all of the ingredients, use what you have! Yesterday Jeremiah used green onions and fresh baby spinach instead of kale, and the result was very tasty!
We used a Jack LaLannes power juicer, we didn't clean any of the fruits or vegetables first. This recipe yields two 12 oz. delicious servings.
