Your video shows olive oil being added to the green mix in the food processor, yet it is no where in the instructions or the ingredient list. With there being umpteen different varieties of olive oil, which are you using in this recipe that is not included in your ingredient list or directions?
So sorry about that, just adjusted the recipe!
