There is no chance of me preparing a fresh avocado and slipping it into a smoothie unnoticed! It turns out, it's easy to freeze them in chunks.

Then a couple of leaves of lettuce, after that, it became a challenge to see what I could get away with. My husband was the first to notice. It was bad timing. He came into the kitchen earlier than usual, right after I tossed a handful of lettuce in the blender. "What's that green stuff?" It helped that he had been drinking lettuce for at least a year at that point. These are not the droids you're looking for" I said .
