Kiwi, Mango, Avocado, Kale, Celery Green Smoothie
I've been wanting to try out agave, and I wanted to find one that was organic and GMO-free. I found some from Wholesome Sweeteners at my store, so I grabbed a bottle and used it for my afternoon smoothie. I'm trying to add more raw items to my food repertoire, and I like having vegan alternatives occasionally, too. So I used the agave instead of honey and bee pollen, which I've been using in the other smoothies I've been making lately. This one turned out really nice! I really liked the addition of celery this time around, too.

Cold water

1 kiwi, peeled and roughly chopped
1 stalk celery, roughly chopped
small handful fresh parsley (about 1 tablespoon)

Put ice in a measuring cup. Pour in water until it reaches the 1 cup line. Pour into blender, along with the rest of the ingredients. Blend until smooth. Enjoy!

I used to keep agave on hand all the time but I've recently stopped...don't know why. I can see it being awesome in smoothies!
