I first discovered this recipe when I was living in California. I was working at a health food store, and one of my coworkers would always make this green elixir for breakfast. It looked so delicious, and I finally asked her for the recipe. She told me that she had gotten it from a friend who was a nutritionist. I tried it, and I was hooked! I've been making it ever since.
