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!
Yum - I love green smoothies :) Going to make one now!
