We all know we should aim for at least five servings of fruits a day, but while many people fail to reach this requirement on any given day, green smoothie drinkers do it all the time—often in a single glass. One example is this delicious recipe that combines an apple, a peach and a banana with some cherries, blackberries and greens. It makes about 5 cups.

Ingredients (serves 2)

• 1 apple, peeled and cored
  
  
• 1 peach, peeled and cored (although you could keep the skin)
  
  
• 1 banana, peeled and chopped
  
  
• 1 cup pitted frozen cherries
  
  
• 1/2 cup frozen blackberries
  
  
• 3 cups leafy greens, such as spinach
  
  
• 12 oz water (I use filtered)
  
  
• 1/2 cup apple juice

Directions
Blend all of the ingredients together until smooth. Pour into two 20-ounce glasses and enjoy.
