Easy, Refreshing Green Smoothie

easy green smoothie recipe

Green smoothies: what can I say that hasn’t already been said?! You know the green smoothie, and it reminds you of yoga pants, flax seed and sandals with socks! If that’s your impression of the green smoothie, then we’re here to change your mind! Because we’re all about being refreshed this week we wanted our smoothie to be an extra bright shade of green. This smoothie is delicious and healthy all at the same time.

I’m a Vita-Mix girl through and through, so making frozen drink is a breeze. There is nothing this machine can’t handle; frozen fruit and ice cubes are no big deal!

This recipe calls for light colored fruit. If you’re adding spinach or kale to a smoothie and you want it to stay green, then the greens have to be the darkest color. When you start adding strawberries or blueberries, the color changes dramatically! We used frozen fruit here, but if you want to use fresh, just add some ice cubes to get the right consistency. If it ends up too thick, add some juice or water. I didn’t have to add any sugar to this because there was sugar in the yogurt.

If you’re concerned about your kids’ diets, this is a great solution. We tested these smoothies out on 7 kids, and they all gave it a thumbs up!

    LOVE green smoothies this time of year! They’re versatile, refreshing, healthy, and delicious. I like to add granola or muesli for added crunch and then I can eat it with a spoon. :) Thanks for sharing!

    For a non-dairy alternative can use coconut milk instead of yogurt. It’s delicious and adds to the tropical flavor as well. I second that you can’t taste the spinach. I throw a handful in my kids smoothies all the time and they have no idea!
