My Brother's Smoothie

My brother lives a health food life In Colorado, with his wife. Breakfast is a smoothie shake. (I eat bagels, scones or cake.) Should you want to join his ranks, This is how – I need no thanks. Place these items in the blender: (You’ll be healthy, fit and slender.) Start out with some chard or kale; (Spinach, too, if it’s on sale.) Add an orange (peeled, of course), Pollen from a beehive source, Lemon peel, some grapes, a peach, Mango, kiwi – one of each, Pineapple – just one fresh ring, Some acai to add some zing. Can’t find all the fruits he’s chosen? Use some berries that are frozen. If you have a real ripe pear, Toss that in to give some flair. One last item from your stash – Spirolina, just a dash. What that is, I have no clue; But I’ll bet it’s good for you! Press the button – your machine Will mix it up and turn it green. Drink it up, just like you should; My brother swears it’s really good! As for me, I think I’ll pass On drinks that look like fresh-cut grass. Also, other reasons lurk – Making one is too much work!

That does sound like a lot of work - a lot of calories too, even if it is good for you! And cake for breakfast? I like it!
