Green Smoothie Recipe


Here is a basic recipe for a green smoothie - you can tweak it any way you like. You don't need a big fancy blender either (though they ARE lovely - my friend has one).

3 big fist fulls of spinach

3/4 c water or juice

BLEND BLEND BLEND (I blend the greens first so that the smoothie will be....smooth!
Add a Banana or two
BLEND BLEND BLEND

That's it! You're smoothie should be great as is. You can add a bazillion other things if you wish. I like to drink mine cold so I use some frozen fruit and some fresh and I like to drink it through a straw. I personally add coconut oil to mine every day (click here for info about amazing coconut oil). Other things I love to add are: pineapple, strawberries, mango, papaya, Avocado (makes it creamy), blueberries, chia seeds - ANYTHING.

If you're not sure about this just yet, break the recipe down small and just try - a fist full of spinach 1/4-1/2c water and a banana. If it isn't to your liking - tweak it. You can add honey or agave nectar if you need it sweeter but I bet you won't.


Enjoy!
