Yummy Mocktail

Refreshing Tea Spritzer

• 1 oz green tea
• 1/4 oz fresh lime juice
• 5 oz lemon lime soda
• mint sprig

Fill highball glass with ice and add all ingredients, stir.  Garnish with mint sprig.

Kale & Pineapple Smoothie

(recipe inspired by Dr. Oz's Kale smoothie)

1/2 up pineapple

2 cucumbers

1 bunch of kale, stems removed

1 small bunch of spinach

1/2 lemon, squeezed

1/4 inch of ginger

1 bunch of mint

Place all ingredients in a juicer and blend.  If you don't have a juicer mix well in a food processor or blender, you may need to add water to get the ingredients to mix.  Once the ingredients are well mixed, strain in a paper towel lined colander.  Discard solids and serve juice over ice.
