Green Smoothie Ingredients

Alright, before we get to the recipe, let’s talk ingredients. To make the best green smoothie, you will need:

• Spinach and kale: These are fantastic ingredients to add to smoothies, because they are both nutrient powerhouses that are packed with vitamins and minerals. 
• Pineapple: This is the magical ingredient that naturally sweetens and flavors the drink so well that you can’t even taste the spinach and kale.
• Banana: This gives your smoothie a rich and creamy consistency. It is also a great source of potassium and dietary fiber.
• Water: This serves as the liquid base for the smoothie.
• Greek yogurt: This adds richness, creaminess and additional protein. I recommend using plain and unsweetened yogurt only, because a lot of flavored yogurts contain a ton of sugar.
• Honey: This adds natural and unrefined sweetness. Not all packaged honey is created equal, so I recommend using one that is 100% pure, raw, and unfiltered for optimal health benefits.

How to Make a Breakfast Green Smoothie

This recipe could not be easier. To make this homemade green smoothie recipe, simply:

1. Add all of the ingredients – water, kale, spinach, pineapple, banana, Greek yogurt, and honey – to a blender.
2. Blend until smooth and creamy, then serve.

Tip: When adding your ingredients to your blender, always add the liquid (in this case, the water) first near the blades. Doing this will help your blender to run a bit more easily whenever you are making a shake.

Possible Recipe Variations

This homemade green smoothie recipe is very flexible with regards to variations. For example, feel free to…

• Use a different sweetener: Rather than honey, you can substitute another natural and unrefined sweetener, such as maple syrup or agave nectar. Alternatively, you can throw in one or two pitted dates instead of a liquid sweetener.
• Add some spice: A dash of ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla all taste amazing in smoothies.
• Stir in some collagen: Adding collagen peptides to smoothies majorly boosts their protein content. Collagen is also known to improve the condition of skin, hair, nails, joints, ligaments and is great for gut health. I recommend using one that is all-natural, unflavored and unsweetened. I use this one from Thrive Market.
• Add some seeds: Chia seeds, ground flax seeds and hemp hearts get blended nicely into shakes. Aim to add one to two teaspoons per serving.

Those are just a few suggestions, so feel free to experiment with whatever ingredient swaps or additions that sound good to you.
