super green thick smoothie
Updated: Sep 21, 2022
Refreshing, sweet and super healthy.
This green smoothie is currently on repeat. I promise you will not taste the hidden greens.
WHAT IS IN THIS SMOOTHIE?
baby leave spinach
an orange
an apple
a fresh or frozen banana
superfoods greens powder
Maca powder
protein powder (optional)
ALTERNATIVE & ADDITIONAL ADD-INS
Add a tablespoon rolled oats to your smoothie to make it into a breakfast smoothie
Flaxseed and chia seeds are great to add to an additional nutrient boost
Replace the spinach with kale
Replace the water with almond or pea milk
WHY IS IT GOOD FOR YOU?
This smoothie is packed with antioxidants, Vitamin K, vitamin A, Vitamin C, Calcium, Potassium, Manganese, Magnesium, Iron and Vitamin B2.
Depending on the green powder you are using, your smoothie might have other benefits.
I love using the green powder from a brand called Naturya which is a mix of Hemp protein, Wheatgrass, Barley grass, Chlorella, Spirulina and Pineapple powder.
TIP!
I prefer a thick consistency for this smoothie, but you can add more water if you prefer it a bit thinner.
Freezing the banana beforehand will give your smoothie a thicker, smooth consistency, but you can also use a fresh banana.
