Green Smoothie Ingredients

Good morning, afternoon, and evening! Need an energy boosting breakfast full of brain food? Green Smoothie is the answer! The ingredients are simple and may consist of what you already have on hand! To make the perfect green smoothie there are a few key ingredients
1. Something to make the smoothie smooth- be it banana (fresh or frozen), avocado (fresh), mango, or peach.
2. Greens- Spinach are my favorite, Romaine comes in close second, I have used salad mixes as well (which tasted beautifully).
3. Something to add the extra umph.. for sweet with antioxidants add berries! Mango is my personal favorite- its sweet and sour:) I showed frozen fruits from Trader Joes here- they are priced great and soooo easy. I also buy a lot of fresh when fruits are in season and freeze them myself- sticking to simplicity with this post.. stay on track Ali!
4. Liquid- 99% of the time I just use filtered alkaline water- however coconut milk, almond milk, whole grain milk, hemp seed milk or apple cider are tasty and may contain extra needed vitamins- I am saving mine for my oats:)
Please note that this is the second time that I have posted green smoothie recipe because of how vital I believe it can be- the post from a little while ago is even better with the watermelon juice or coconut water!
