Pea Vine & Spinach Green Drink

Yield

Yield: 1 quart Servings

Ingredients

3 cups roughly chopped pea vine
2 cups of fresh spinach
½ cup chopped cilantro
2 cups of water
4 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 to 1 ½ cups ice cubes
¼ tsp salt, plus more to taste

Instructions

Put all ingredients in a blender. If you can’t fit all the greens in the blender cup, just put about half in first with the remaining ingredients. Blend briefly to create more space and then add remaining greens.
Blend at high speed until all ingredients are finely chopped and the mixture is smooth.
If you want a very smooth, velvety juice, pour it through a fine mesh strainer before serving. If you don’t mind a little thickness in your juice from the vegetable pulp, then skip the straining step. There may also be a layer of foam on top from the high-speed blender action. Just take a spoon and skim it off the top.
Adjust the seasoning to your liking with more salt and lemon juice. Serve over ice for a cold drink or gently and briefly heat it to lukewarm on the stove top for a warm drink. Store any extras in the refrigerator. The juice will separate in storage, just shake it before serving.
