Green Smoothie Recipe


Green Smoothies

A green smoothie recipe provides the means to easily consume all the greens that we require as part of a healthy diet.

Without blending our greens, it can be difficult to consume 1 - 2 pounds of raw greens a day, yet this is what is recommended for optimum health.

Green smoothies are a bit of a twist on the traditional idea of what can go into fruit smoothie recipes. They require a small paradigm shift but once you try it you'll love it!

The flavors of the fruit overwhelm the flavors of the greens because greens are generally quite neutral tasting.

If you are having a hard time imagining yourself drinking blended greens, then start small. Just add a few leaves of lettuce or spinach to a fruit smoothie and gradually build it up.

It is definitely a worthwhile thing to get into, as green vegetables are extremely high in micronutrients and offer fantastic protection against disease.

Green Smoothie Recipe: Ingredients:

1 pound spinach
1x large mango
3x peeled bananas
1x apple

Green Smoothie Recipe: Method:

Blend until smooth and creamy.

Serves 1-2

Simple Green Smoothies Galore!

For really simple smoothies you can choose any one (or two) type of fruit and blend with any one type of tender green, such as celery, baby spinach or lettuce.

For example:

Recipe 1

5x mangoes
1x head of romaine

Recipe 2

6x peeled ripe bananas
200g baby spinach

Recipe 3

500mlx fresh squeezed orange juice
2x large mangoes
4x stalks celery

Blended up in the vitamix, all these recipes are delicious. I tend not to add any water to my smoothies these days, but if you prefer them a little less thick, then add a cup of water to the blend.
