Kiwi Asparagus Smoothie

Well, I have a series of green smoothies that I make.  Usually made with kale or spinach.  Last week, I bought a big bag of Asparagus at Costco.  When, I do this, then I figure out all the ways I can incorporate that vegetable into my meals.  So, here was one way to use the asparagus.

4 medium kiwis
4 asparagus spears (remove tough end)
1 cup honeydew melon
1 TBS flax seed (this is optional, but I like to add a source of fat to all my smoothies to aid in absorption of all the wonderful vitamins and minerals you are getting from your raw fruits and veggies).
1 cup almond milk unsweetened
5-6 ice cubes

As it is above, it makes 2 tall glasses of smoothie.

6 WW points per serving

(Variations: you can add water instead of almond milk, but I had this as my morning smoothie, so I wanted the extra nutrition and texture of the almond milk).
