Good Morning Green Smoothie

Hi everyone! :) Just thought I'd pop in and post a nice PCOS-friendly recipe.

Red chard & fruit smoothie:

(makes about 2 glasses)
~2 red chard leaves (or regular chard)
~1/2 bunch of parsley
~1 banana
~1 pear
~1/4 cup frozen sweet cherries
~1 Tbsp ground cinnamon (GREAT for blood sugar control, helps with cravings)
~fresh sliced ginger root to taste
~stevia to taste
~5 ice cubes
~water, add until you reach desired consistency

optional (I add about 1 Tbsp each of the following):

chia seeds
maca powder
bee pollen
lecithin granules

Blend all ingredients until smooth. Enjoy!
