Daily Greens

I mentioned in my Super Smoothie recipe that the recipe for my daily greens would be posted soon. Well, here it is! I don't like the taste of greens (lots of them, anyway) in my morning smoothie. I've made them before in my Instant Pot so I decided to make a big batch every couple days to eat with my smoothie. This recipe makes 3/4 pound of raw greens which turns into about 2 cups of cooked greens. I've been using huge bags of Costco's Power Greens, kale, chard and spinach. They are organic, pre-washed and cost under $6.00. They contain 1 3/4 pounds of raw greens in each bag. I can make half the bag at a time in my 6 quart Instant Post.
