I love a good smoothie, don’t you? I generally start my mornings with this green smoothie recipe and it’s one of my favorites! With how chaotic and hectic a day can become, it’s super important to me to at least start my day off with something healthy and fresh. That way, I seem to have a reduced level of guilt if my lunch or dinner is not as healthy as I would like, or I forget to eat. Both of which happen way too frequently. That’s why I like to have a smoothie first thing in the morning. It’s easy to digest and contains tons of nourishing vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. I personally use my Vitamix blender which I talk about below, but you can definitely make this even if you don’t own a Vitamix. It may end up a bit chunkier and not as finely blended, but it will still be delicious!
The Best Green Smoothie Recipe
This basic smooth, creamy green smoothie recipe is so easy and so delicious! I have a few variations that I run through, which makes it slightly different every morning, but just as nutritious! ♡
INGREDIENTS
- 1–2 cups almond milk or coconut milk
- a handful of kale or smoothie greens mix
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1/2 cup frozen peach slices or one frozen banana
- 1/2 inch slice of fresh ginger and/or fresh lemon juice
- sprinkle of cinnamon, cayenne pepper or turmeric
INSTRUCTIONS
- Add your liquid to the Vitamix or blender first. Then layer in your other ingredients in order from above. Blend until smooth, then enjoy!
Pro prep tip: Just pack your mango, peaches, kale, and lemon into a bag and freeze it up. When you’re ready to blend, add whatever liquid you’d like (I prefer almond milk or coconut milk) to the base of your blender or Vitamix and blend! It’ll save you time assembling all the ingredients!
