This Green Smoothie is one of my go-to smoothies for breakfast or a healthy snack. If I’m not making my favorite blueberry peanut butter smoothie, I’m definitely making this one.
I used to have such a hard time making smoothies when I was younger and now that I have finally gotten the hang of it, it’s one of my favorite things for breakfast. It takes a bit of trial and error to keep these guys green too.
Something I love about smoothies is that they are so easy and quick, with very little clean up. So these are amazing to take with you on your way to work, or to send with your kids to school. And it’s a prefect way to get some extra veggies in because you don’t taste the kale/spinach.
I absolutely love these glasses I got from Homesense, but there are some similar (and VERY trendy) ones here: ripple glasses.
Ingredients
- 1 banana chopped, frozen or fresh
- 1 cup yellow fruit, I used mango and peaches for this one
- 1 cup packed spinach or kale rinsed
- 1 cup almond or oat milk
- 1/2 cup full fat greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon hemp hearts
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup for sweetness if needed
Directions
- Add all of your ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth, I usually let mine go for a couple of minutes on high.
- Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy!
Tip: If your smoothie seems too thick just add a little more almond/oat milk to thin it out. Also, if you use any fruit that is red or blue/purple, your smoothie will still taste good, it just won’t be green anymore.
