Green Power Smoothie

A Green Power Smoothie is a nutrient-packed drink typically made with leafy greens, fruits, and other healthy ingredients. It’s an excellent way to boost your energy and get a healthy dose of vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for a Green Power Smoothie:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup spinach or kale (fresh or frozen)
• 1/2 cup frozen mango (or other fruit like pineapple or banana)
• 1/2 avocado (for creaminess and healthy fats)
• 1 small banana (adds sweetness)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional, for added fiber and omega-3s)
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter (for protein and healthy fats)
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or other plant-based milk (or water)
• 1/2 cup coconut water (optional, for extra hydration)
• 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, if you like it sweeter)
• Ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)

Instructions:

1. Add all ingredients into a blender: spinach (or kale), mango, avocado, banana, chia or flax seeds, peanut or almond butter, almond milk, coconut water, and sweetener (if desired).
2. Blend until smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more almond milk or water to achieve your desired consistency.
3. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed, adding more honey or maple syrup.
4. Pour into a glass, and enjoy your Green Power Smoothie!
