Simple Green Smoothie

You’ll start your mornings off on the right foot when you make this quick five minute green smoothie! 

Packed with fresh avocado, spinach, and strawberries - this is a deliciously healthy green smoothie to start your morning with!

Some days, I wake up ravenous! Like, I mean I could eat three steaks and a couple of eggs for breakfast, but let’s be real – I can’t be doing that on a daily basis. That’s where this super simple Green Smoothie comes in.

Unlike our Healthy Green Detox Juice where you juice out the water and nutrients from the produce and remove most of the indigestible fiber, in green smoothies you use a blender to blend everything together, breaking down all the fiber but leaving it in your smoothie. That means you’ll be satisfied for longer – maybe even until lunchtime!

Packed with fresh avocado, spinach, and strawberries - this is a deliciously healthy green smoothie to start your morning with!

Honestly, you can add anything you want into your green smoothies, making sure to have one of each below:

  • liquid base: today I used hemp milk, but you can use almond milk, coconut milk, coconut water, or fresh juice
  • vegetables: spinach and avocados give this smoothie it’s green color and smooth texture
  • fruits: strawberries and a whole banana add natural sweetness to this drink

Another flavor addition that I forgot to include in this smoothie are spices, which I normally remember to include but not this morning. Sprinkle in some cinnamon or turmeric for added nutrition and flavor!

Packed with fresh avocado, spinach, and strawberries - this is a deliciously healthy green smoothie to start your morning with!

Enjoy this healthy green smoothie!
