Our New Favorite Breakfast Drink

When Greg and I were following a low lectin, keto food plan, we had a morning drink, made with lots of raw greens. I'm a bit cautious about consistently consuming too many raw greens that are high in oxalates. So, we came up with this, and I feel like I've taken a "happy pill" after drinking it!

What you need:
1/4 to 1/3 head of celery, finely chopped
1/4 to 1/2 turnip or rutabaga, peeled
Large chunk of daikon radish, peeled
4 to 6 mushrooms
Handful of cilantro
Chunk of turmeric, peeled
Chunk of ginger, peeled and finely chopped
Pith, peel and juice of one lemon
Juice of one more lemon
High quality sea salt
Pepper
Filtered water

What you do:
Put all ingredients in VitaMix
Add the filtered water to almost the top of the VitaMix
Blend well (I scoop off the foam after blending)
Enjoy!

This makes enough for 4 to 6 12oz. servings.
I have refrigerated any leftovers for up to 24 hours.
If this is all I'm having for breakfast, I will add 1/4 to 1/2 avocado to my portion and blend.
