• 1 pear
• 1 tangelo
• 1 huge chunk ginger
• 1 large celery stalk
• .5 cup strawberries

• Green Superfood powder. 

This ended up being surprisingly savoury- I always forget that celery is quite salty, which cancels off a lot of the sweetness of the fruit. Still quite tasty, just surprising. I found the supplement powder once again gave me a super rush of energy in the morning.
