Energy Boosting Green Smoothie

/

Starting your day off on the right foot is essential to optimal health and performance. If you work with me or visit my site frequently, you know I am a big fan of the health and beauty benefits of having Green Smoothie for breakfast. 

I have tweaked my recipes a bit for summertime to take advantage of the freshest produce and to start my day feeling light, bright and energized!

 

Glowing Green Smoothie

A delicious combination of eye-opening tart green apples and hydrating veggies. To make this drink even greener (AKA more powerful), try increasing the green leafy veggies or throwing in a fistful of cleansing parsley.

  • 1/4 avocado
  • 1 green apple or pear
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 handful of romaine, kale or spinach
  • 1 T hemp seeds
  • Coconut water (or purified water)
  • Ice
  • OPTIONAL: 1 tbsp of almonds, cashews, or 1 brazil nuts (makes it a bit more hearty and delicious)

1.  Blend ingredients in a high-powered blender

 

Calming Green Smoothie

This smoothie is a go-to at my house.  I love the refreshing additions of cilantro and mint, and avocado adds a good dose of healthy fat

  • 1 banana, frozen
  • 1 cup green grapes
  • 1/4 avocado
  • 1/3 cup cilantro, leaves and stems, tightly packed
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, tightly packed
  • 1 handful spinach or romaine
  • 1 1/4 cups water
