This healthy green smoothie recipe is so refreshing and packed with nutrition. There are a million breakfast drink recipes out there, but I truly think this good morning green smoothie recipe I created is the perfect blend that not only tastes amazing, but is so good for you. Kids also love this vegan green smoothie.
Healthy Vegan Green Smoothie is a Great Way to Start Your Morning
I love green smoothies for all the nutrients they provide for the body. You might also like to make my delicious hormone-balancing green smoothie. That recipe is another client favorite.
Ingredients Needed for the Best Green Smoothie Recipe
Spinach: Depending on what greens I have on hand, determines whether I use spinach or kale. Both hearty greens taste great in this recipe.
Pineapple: This is the perfect fruit to balance out the earthy green flavor from the spinach or kale.
Cucumber: This veggie adds extra hydration and is fantastic for your skin. Keeps your skin hydrated and plump looking.
Lemon Juice: I prefer fresh lemon juice, but you can use the bottled kind. The lemon juice also helps balance out the greens and add brightness to the smoothie.
Pear: The perfect neutral tasting fruit with tons of fiber and vitamins to give you energy throughout the morning.
Water: Of course, you need a liquid in this smoothie, so water is perfect. If you prefer more protein, add your favorite milk of choice.
Spinach Health Benefits
Spinach contains fiber, antioxidants, vitamin K. It is also a great source of vitamin C and iron.
Cucumber Health Benefits
Cucumber keeps you hydrated. This vegetable contains potassium, which helps stabilize your blood pressure. The skin of the cucumber also contains vitamin C, so I recommend leaving the skin on while you add it to this recipe.
