A green smoothie is a nutritious drink made with green vegetables and fruits. It typically includes ingredients like spinach, kale, or Swiss chard, combined with fruits like bananas, apples, or pineapples for natural sweetness. You might also add other ingredients like yogurt, almond milk, or protein powder to enhance the flavor and boost the nutritional value.
Here’s a basic recipe for a green smoothie:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh spinach (or other leafy greens)
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 apple (cored)
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for extra fiber)
Instructions:
- Add the spinach, banana, pineapple, and apple to a blender.
- Pour in the almond milk.
- Blend until smooth. If it’s too thick, you can add a bit more milk or water.
- Optionally, add chia seeds and blend again briefly.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy!
