Equipment
- Chef's Knife
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw leafy greens or 1/3 cup frozen
- 1 cup frozen chopped pineapple, banana, mango, or cherries
- 1 cup juice or milk of choice such as coconut or almond milk
- sweetener of choice as desired
Instructions
- Use frozen fruit, or freeze fruit beforehand, so there's no need to add ice (which would dilute the flavor of the smoothie). To make the recipe, simply combine all ingredients in a blender until completely smooth. Serve in a glass or bowl, add toppings as desired, and enjoy!
Notes
- Tip 1: If you make extra smoothies, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. However, for the best taste, enjoy them fresh!
- Tip 2: You can freeze your Green Smoothie in ice cube trays. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer bag for easy use in future smoothies.
- Tip 3: Serve your smoothie with a slice of whole-grain toast or a healthy muffin for a more filling breakfast.
- Tip 4: Try adding a scoop of protein powder or nut butter for an extra protein boost; it’ll keep you energized throughout the day.
- Tip 5: Don’t be shy about experimenting! Add ingredients like flax seeds, chia seeds, or even oats for different textures and benefits.
