Green Smoothie Recipes

Posted on March 2, 2013 by Aimee in Food, Recipes

IMG_0289I often get the question, “Can you give me some of your green smoothie recipes”. The truth is, I don’t really follow recipes. I have a bunch of ingredients, and mix and match differently every day. In the beginning adding lots of greens is hard because you’re not used to the taste. But as you go, you can increase the greens and decrease the fruit. You don’t want to have too much sugar in the smoothie. Just use as little fruit as necessary to make it taste good.

When searching around the internet for some recipes I can across this page. It’s a good primer on the basics of smoothie making.

That said, here are some typical smoothie I’ll make:

  • Coconut water
  • Avocado
  • Kale
  • pineapple
  • Ginger root

OR

  • Coconut water
  • Avocado
  • Spinach
  • Banana
  • Strawberry

After you get the basic ingredients working for you, you can start adding other stuff to add to the taste of add other healthy stuff in:

Spices

  • Turmeric

Seeds

  • Chia
  • Hemp
  • Flax
  • Pepita (pumpkin)

Nuts
