THE OG GREEN SMOOTHIE

Updated: Jan 19, 2021


Smoothies are one of my favorite ways to flush our bodies with tons of nutrients. You can pack TONS of amazing things into a smoothie and make them a serious nutritional powerhouse. I always incorporate fruit, veggies, healthy fats, protein and leafy greens into my smoothie blends. My general recipe formula for a smoothie is 1 cup liquid, 1 serving of fruit, 1-2 tbsp fat (like nut butter or avocado), 1-2 cups leafy greens. I almost always use frozen fruit because it makes the consistency thicker but fresh fruit works well, too. Another trick I like to add extra nutrition to smoothies is to add frozen cauliflower (~1/2 cup) instead of using ice. I promise it adds no flavor and it adds fiber and vitamins while making the smoothie thick and creamy. Below is my go-to green smoothie recipe. I’ve been drinking it for years and I’ll never get sick of it. I hope you love it!
