Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk or juice
- 1 cup spinach or kale
- ½ cup banana or ½ cup plain yogurt
- 1 cup fruit today that’s 1 kiwi and 1 pear
- 1 Tbsp optional superfood topping chia, flax, or hemp seeds
- 1 tsp optional flavor enhancer cinnamon, vanilla, honey
Instructions
- Combine liquid and greens in a blender until smooth. Add the rest of your ingredients and continue blending until smooth. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can certainly add yogurt, but if you do we suggest not using banana. As we mention in our basic green smoothie recipe, we use either yogurt or banana as the creamy base.
- There are so many fruits that work great in a green smoothie! Try banana, all types of berries, mango or pineapple, stone fruits like peaches, cherries or plums, apples and pears are great too, and you can even use oranges, avocado, and grapes.
- You can make green smoothies with water, milk, coconut water, almond, soy or coconut milk, and even juice. However, juice has added sugar, so keep that in mind when choosing.
