Kale and Spinach mix

Spinach with kiwi and grapes and fresh squeezed orange juice.

enough water to blend into a smooth smoothy! Yummy!

Try adding some herbs, too! I LOVE parsley–it’s so healthy and cleansing. So yesterday’s smoothie had spinach, kale, arugula, parsley, and basil. I added three very small peaches, the juice of half a lime, and a banana. It was really yummy!

I am hooked on green smoothies! I add different things, depending on what sounds good to my body each day. I haven’t been disappointed yet!


full of important minerals, vitamins, healthy omega three fats, fiber, protein, enzymes, that is hydrating and easy to digest!

My favorite:

2 c. spinach
1/2 a ripe avocado
1 c. berries of choice (I prefer with blueberries)
dash of cinnamon
1/2 c. almond milk
1 scoop vanilla protein
ice + water for processing

I've also added banana before. You don't have to add the protein powder, but I usually have mine after a workout, so I like the protein added in.

The nice thing about spinach is that it essentially has NO flavor when added into whatever your favorite smoothie is. Same for avocado (which I do NOT like alone). It makes it really extra creamy and adds a lot in the way of vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, etc.

My 15 yr old loves fruit too. I just started adding kale and spinach to her regular fruit smoothies.

I have been have green smoothies for breakfast and find that they are really tasting and filling.

Kale Green Smoothie

2 cups water
2 huge handfuls of Kale ( I buy the organic Kale thats cut up)
2 bananas
1 medium navel orange
1/2 cup mango

1 Make sure to add water first than add additional ingredients. I find it easier to blend if I put one handful kale in first and than add it in again after I blend the other ingredients. I find this to be very filling and I usually give a small cup to my daughter as well.

There is enough here to make about 32oz so you can save half for lunch.

Here is my fav-

1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
2 cups frozen spinach
1 frozen banana sliced
1 kiwi peeled and sliced
1 cup skim milk
1 TBS Honey

Dump it all in the blender and blend till smooth and creamy :drinker:

Bumping to save for later. Love it!

Wildberry Smoothie

1/2 c trop 50 Orange Juice
1/2 c water
2 handfuls of ice
1 c frozen wildberry medley
1 scoop protein powder (vanilla)
2 c spinach

Green Smoothie

1 c. Almond Milk ( I use Blue Diamond - unsweetened, 40 cal per cup)
2 handfuls of ice
1 scoop protein powder (vanilla)
1 tsp. peanut butter (natural)
1 banana
2 c spinach

Bump!

I always do spinach. I read that Kale has a stronger flavour so if you dont' want to taste the greens at all to use spinach.

My basic recipe is
- spinach
- milk
- orange juice
- yogurt
- banana
- flaxseeds

And then i add in random fruits. I also put random amounts in.

My favourite is
- spinach
- milk
- orange juice
- banana
- pineapple!

I have a single serve blender thing so I usually fill the blender cup with frozen spinach (I buy the big bags of fresh spinach then freeze them). Then usually add half milk/half orange juice (around 1/2 cup each or so), one banana and then throw in as much pineapple as I want. Then i taste test it until I find it suitable.
