Parsley Smoothie

"This is how a green smoothie should taste. It feels like kicking off your shoes and skipping through soft grass. So bright and sunny, it can turn around even the grayest winter day."

Recipe: 

Peel and chop 1 not-quite-ripe banana (yellow meets green and firm to the touch). Roughly chop 1 Persian cucumber. Add both to a blender, along with 1 big handful (about ½ cup) parsley leaves and ⅔ cup plain yogurt or kefir. Blend until smooth. Pour into a glass and drink up.
