The Green Smoothie for Beginners Guide!

Tempted to try a green smoothie but don’t know where to start?  Here is a no-fail recipe for a green smoothie guaranteed to taste great and have you feeling great all day long!

If you don’t have a high-speed blender such as a vitamix, start by blending the greens and liquid alone before adding the rest of the ingredients.  Also, start with using baby spinach leaves, which is much easier than kale for an ordinary blender to tackle!  I like to add a few tablespoons of protein, which will keep you full for longer!

Ingredients:

Liquid:  Coconut water, soy milk, almond milk, hemp milk

Greens:  Baby spinach, kale, collard greens, beet greens

Fruit:  Banana, mango, pineapple, berries, peaches

Protein:  Peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, sun butter, protein powder, hemp seeds
