Green Smoothie Recipe

A green smoothie recipe that is tasty and full of all that stuff thatโs good for you and none of the stuff that isnโt.

I just have to share with you about this green smoothie Iโve become quiet fond of lately.
Actually, Iโve become quiet addicted to all smoothies over the past little while. Each day I proclaim, โthis is my favorite!โ And then the next day, I think the same thing about the newest combination. Iโm constantly amazed at the full-flavor of the fruit or vegetable without even adding any sugar or honey.
Who knew?
Well, Iโm sure you all knew. Iโm just late in the inner smoothie circle, I guess.
But this green smoothie, well, I have to tell you how in the world it came to be. I made my son a strawberry and banana smoothie one morning to go along with his breakfast. My plan was for him to have that smoothie and I was going to make myself a spinach and apple smoothie Iโd heard about on Dr. Oz or some other television show I watch to hear about what I should or should not be eating. Anyway, in my absent-mindedness I had only poured half of the strawberry and banana smoothie out of the blender when I plopped my handful of spinach into the blender.
I thought about taking it back out. I thought about adding the apple. I decided to just go with it.
Sometimes, just going with it really works. Not always, but just sometimes.
This, my friends, was one of those sometimes.
Hereโs how I make my green smoothie (when Iโm paying attention).

My fave smoothing combo is 1 frozen banana, 1/4 cup of frozen blueberries, 2 stalks of kale and a little over a cup of water! Yummy ๐ I have one almost every morning for breakfast!
This is so funny. I had spinach that I needed to use up last week. I searched for green smoothie recipes but couldnโt find one. I ended up throwing some frozen strawberries and frozen bananas from the freezer in, deciding Iโd better add some liquid (chose orange juice) and then put in spinach. I must not have added enough spinach though because mine wasnโt pretty and green, but an icky brown color. But it sure tasted good. AND my kids (except the one who doesnโt like bananas) all liked it. Even the one who hates all vegetables.
First time at your site, though I follow you on Twitter. Starting to get active on Stumble Upon, let it access my Twitter & you were one of many who popped up ๐ Love social media!! So as I was โstumblingโ tonight I finally made it to your wonderful blog!
Iโm also a homeschool mom (of 3 girls), live in South Florida & LOVE green smoothies! They give you SO much energy. Happy that you liked yours. A favorite combo of mine includes spinach, frozen banana, pineapple, mango & lemon juice (and a dash of unsweetened coconut shredds & fresh ground flax)โฆYUM!!

Want to start a breakfast shop? You do the smoothies and Iโll do granolaโฆthatโs the kick Iโve been on lately!
I think the older we get the more we eat food that tastes good once we fix it properly. Who knew that spinach was good fresh after Mom boiled it to death each time? Or Brussels sprouts for that matter, another new favorite of mine.
Without a doubt a unique flavor combo but Iโm game; I need something to break the hold granola has on me!
Iโve made a version with frozen banana, spinach, cocoa powder, milk, and peanut butter. The chocolate and peanut butter taste amazing!
This actually sounds like it would be really good. I am looking forward to summer days to enjoy smoothies again.
I am so trying that tonight! Iโm not even gonna be bothered by the fact that it is, well, GREEN!
Itโs a step out from my normal strawberry, banana and honey smoothie โ but I was pleasantly surprised by it. I made another version today where I added pineapple. Oh YUM!
This smoothie packs a powerful punch of antioxidants and vitamin C, thatโs for sure! I bet it tastes just delicious, Robyn. Isnโt it funny how we become less and less afraid of spinach as we age? Thanks for sharing this delicious drink!
You are so right, Georgia! It seems like the older I get the more spinach I eat!
I keep hearing about these green smoothies and Iโm dying to try one. But, alas, we donโt have a blender. I know what youโre thinkingโฆโWho doesnโt have a blender???!!โ Me, thatโs how. Poor little me. ๐
Okay, pity party over. Iโm gonna try it in the Magic Bullet. That might work!
Oh man, youโll have to let me know how the magic bullet does with it.
Iโm not big on veggie smoothies but since I trust ya, Iโll give it a go.
Iโm more prone to going for a sweet fruit smoothie, too, but felt like I needed to get into the green stuff. Youโll have to let me know how you like it.
