Banana Apple Elixir

Dorky name, but trying to describe the wonderful taste and texture of this morning drink.

1 Granny Smith apple, diced, seeds and stem removed
1 Golden Delicious apple, diced, seeds and stem removed
1 very ripe frozen banana, halved
1 large carrot, sliced into coins
1 small yellow summer squash, sliced into coins
1 romaine lettuce heart, cut or torn into large pieces

Add first 5 ingredients to Blendtec jar with about a 1/2 cup-1 cup of water. Run on Whole Juice cycle once. Add lettuce and several ice cubes and a little water to the remaining space in jar and run on Whole Juice cycle again, so that the lettuce gets good and blended in.

I've found the heavy pulpiness of frozen bananas balances well with apples, though it does result in a very sweet smoothie. I don't bother coring the apples because it gets blended so well you don't notice, though it's typically easy to knock the seeds out. Summer squash like yellow squash or zucchini is a good way to add vitamins and fiber without influencing the taste very much.
