These two are not greens based, but still work quite well:

I've been using a ninja for this one: cucumber, lemon, carrots, celery, banana, and then sometimes I mix it up with spinach or green apples. Add a couple cups of water. Some of the ingredients are for antibloating and I find the fiber helps keep me full longer

Just ordered a juicer.. looking for some recipes that use fresh vegs and fruit for sweetness. @Kenshi7 yours sounds good!

Thinking greens, carrots, beets, celery, cucumber, banana... pineapple???

That wouldn't be low carb.

No juice with a reasonable number of calories would be low carb, since the calories are going to be mostly carbs.

For smoothies, depends on what's in there -- the more fruits or dairy or things with sugar, the more carbs, especially higher sugar fruits like pineapple and banana or something like beet (which I love).

The more the smoothie contains sources of protein and fat or vegetables vs. fruit, the lower carb it will be overall, although once you juice it even the veg are largely contributing sugar.

Personally, I don't think this is bad, since I don't worry about carbs -- I just make sure my smoothies have a good amount of veg and some protein since I consider both of those an important part of breakfast -- but if someone is looking for a low carb smoothie the answer is mostly veg, sources of fat like seeds or nuts or nut butter or a cream, and protein (like a protein powder).

Since I don't worry about carbs I use a mix of fruit and veg -- this morning melon, peach, cucumber, kale, and basil, plus some coconut milk drink and vega protein powder. I'm still experimenting and tend to use what I have on hand (typically what's currently in season where I live).
