It is important not to overfill your blender. Liquid will expand when mixed with other ingredients. Leave at least 1/3 of the capacity empty, and even more for thinner liquids.Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. maple syrup
- 3 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 1 tsp. Dijon-style prepared mustard
- 1 tsp. salt

- 1 tbsp. poppy seeds
- 1 head of romaine lettuce (torn into bite-sized pieces)
- 120 g Grand Trunk (shredded)
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds (raw)
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds (raw)
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- 1 apple (peeled, cored and diced)
- 1 orange (peeled and diced)
Directions
