What are green smoothies ?
Green smoothies are healthy smoothies because they are full of vitamins. They are usually green due to the spinach or kale mixed into the smoothie. I like to mix spinach with assorted fruits that balance out the bitter taste of spinach so it doesn’t taste like spinach juice. Green smoothies are a great way to get all the nutrients from vegetables without having to eat a ton! In fact, we just got back from vacation and I missed my smoothies. Next time, I plan to take my blender with me on vacation!
No seriously… I’ll do it. I love having one every morning and I love getting all the good nutrients that come in every spinach smoothie recipe. I use raw spinach in my smoothies. By boiling the spinach, you can cook some of the nutrients. For this reason, I try to mix raw fruits and vegetables into my smoothies to make sure I’m getting as many nutrients as possible.
