Green Smoothie Recipe
Ingredients
➔2-3 cup baby spinach
➔1 carrot
➔¹/₂ avocado
➔1 large apple
➔1 cup fresh or frozen fruit (frozen mixed berries, mango, and pineapple work best here)
➔1 banana
➔3-4 cups water
Method
A powerful blender is highly recommended for this recipe. We use a Vitamix 6300 which handles this job smoothly (pun intended).
Add the above vegetables, fruits, and water in that order. Blend and drink it immediately. Many of the desired micros (vitamins) begin to quickly break down, so don’t delay and consume your glass of green in order to maximize nutrient intake.
Once you have developed a habit of making and drinking this daily for a few months you can move on and introduce 1 cup of kale and cut down on the spinach. It’s substitutions like these that will eventually lead to our current green smoothie recipe of Kale, spinach, broccoli, cilantro, grapefruit, apple, and banana.
