Green Smoothie

I have to admit… lunchtime is usually crazy for me and I often don’t get the nutrition or calories I should. So I often make a Green Smoothie to get what my body needs! I pair it with some sort of protein we have in our fridge.

Years ago when I first told the hubby about my new smoothie and shared the ingredients he said, “whoa, you need to lead with frozen fruit.” My whole goal is to get some different foods, therefore nutrients, in me. Just do me a favor… don’t knock it until you try it. It is actually my second daughter’s favorite smoothie that I make!

Why Make My Green Smoothie?

Green Smoothie is nutritious and delicious. It is naturally gluten and dairy free. It can easily be nut free by removing the almond butter and either having no protein or replace it with a collagen powder.

I love that I can drink this smoothie, eat some leftover chicken and feel like I had a balanced meal. This is especially helpful to me at lunchtime. But this smoothie is also a great afternoon snack.

Green Smoothie has:

1. Good fats- Avocado and almond butter have good fats that help you stay feeling fuller longer.
2. Protein- almond butter has some protein. Need to up the protein? Add some collagen powder.
3. Nutrients- kale, avocado, cucumber, celery, frozen fruit… they are all full of vitamins and minerals.
4. Coconut water- the best, cleanest natural electrolyte drink to help us stay hydrated!
