I’ve found that a refreshing and healthy way to start the morning is with a green smoothie. Honestly, I’ve tried a lot of green smoothie mixtures and recipes and this one is my own easy solution to the tasty power drink. The ingredients used are ones that you are sure to find in your kitchen, so you won’t have to worry about running to the store last minute. And, the best part of making smoothies is to have fun with it and to alter how much of each ingredient you prefer. Enjoy!
Mix in a blender:
- 3 tablepoons of plain greek yogurt
- 1 apple
- 1 frozen banana
- Two big splashes of orange juice
- 3 handfuls of spinach
- A couple of cubes of ice
- 1 teaspoon of flaxseed

January 29, 2014 at 5:57 pm (10 years ago)My kind of a drink! Looks amazing!
I’m gonna try it tomorrow morning.
You can try also another great recipe for smoothie:
1 banana
2 peaches, washed and unpeeled
1/2-1 cup of ice: large “oblong” cubes
1/2 cup of ANY milk (I use soy)
1 cup of instant uncooked/unsweetened oats
1 big pinch of ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon-ish of cinnamon
It makes a really awesome, filling, just sweet enough smoothie with a great texture from the oats and peach skin, and a slight spice from the ginger and cinnamon! It made two servings.
