Green Smoothies
Green Smoothies
Green smoothies are an easy way to get more fruits and veggies into your diet. Get a dose of fiber, chlorophyll, essential vitamins, and other good stuff your body needs in one glass. Keep it simple.
Structure for your smoothie experiments:
- 2 cups of greens like spinach or kale (or something easier to blend if your blender isn’t high-powered, like spinach)
- 1 cup chunks of creamy fruit (frozen bananas, mangoes, or an avocado)
- 0.75 cup of your favorite sweet frozen fruits (cherries, berries, apples, pears — use your imagination)
- 1.5 cups liquid (a combo of juice, milk, water, or all water depending on sweetness preference)
Combos to try:
- Tropical fruits like mangoes and pineapples with coconut milk and water
- Blueberries or blackberries with almond milk
- All bananas with peanut butter and almond milk
Experiment and trust your taste buds!
