This is the smoothie Reese Witherspoon drinks everyday! Reese says she got the recipe from fellow actress Kerry Washington and has been drinking it every day for breakfast for the last nine years.
Ingredients
- 2 heads romaine lettuce
- 1/2 cup spinach
- 1 apple
- 1 pear
- 1 banana
- 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup coconut water
Prepping the ingredients
The most time-consuming part of this whole recipe is simply preparing all of the ingredients. You have to chop the lettuce, core the apple and pear, peel the banana, and cut the rind off the lemon (leave the seeds and all the pulp though!). Of course, I also thoroughly washed all my produce beforehand and made sure to choose fruit that was already very ripe so it would blend easily.
Making the smoothie
Once everything was washed, chopped and peeled, I piled it all into the blender, starting with the solid food and then pouring in the coconut water on top. I blended it up for about 3 minutes to make sure there were no unwelcome chunks. Reese also noted that sometimes you have to push the veggies on top down while you blend so they don’t get left behind (I only had to do this once).
