why make this recipe

A green smoothie is a tasty and nutritious way to start your day. It’s packed with vitamins and minerals from leafy greens and fruits, making it a great choice for breakfast or a quick snack. Plus, it’s easy to make and can be customized to your taste.

how to make Green Smoothie

Ingredients:

1 cup frozen spinach or kale
½ frozen banana
½ tablespoon almond butter
1 to 2 cups peeled and frozen orange segments (or frozen pineapple or mango chunks)
½ teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
1 cup almond milk (plus more as needed to blend)
Handful of ice

Directions:

In a blender, place the spinach, banana, almond butter, and 1 cup of your chosen frozen fruit. Add the chia seeds if you are using them.
Pour in the almond milk and blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add more almond milk to help it blend.
Add ice to the blender and blend again until smooth.
Taste your smoothie. If you want it sweeter, add more frozen fruit and blend until it is smooth again. You can also adjust the almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

how to serve Green Smoothie

Serve your green smoothie in a tall glass or a bowl. You can enjoy it right away or add some toppings like granola, fresh fruit, or nuts for an extra crunch.

how to store Green Smoothie

If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake or stir before drinking, as it may separate.

tips to make Green Smoothie

Use frozen fruit for a thicker texture and a colder drink.
Experiment with different greens like spinach, kale, or even Swiss chard.
For added sweetness, consider adding a splash of honey or maple syrup.
You can also include protein powder or yogurt for a protein boost.

variation

You can switch the greens and fruits according to what you have. Try using spinach with mango or kale with pineapple for different flavors.

FAQs
