Green smoothies are pretty gross (IMHO). But you know what? They are just so good for you because they give you all the vitamins, minerals, fiber, and even plant protein that you need to start your day just right.
Here are 10 delicious smoothies to get started.
#1 Spicy Green Smoothie
The first time I told someone that I liked putting jalapeno peppers in my smoothies I was greeted with horror. But you know what? It’s true. They are delicious, cleansing, and so much more fun than your boring standard green smoothie.
#2 Fall Greens Smoothie
If you haven’t added frozen grapes to your smoothies yet,v then you are in for a real treat. You will never go back, I promise.
#3 Blueberry Peanut Butter Smoothie
I’m not sure I really need to explain this one, but I’ll try: blueberries and peanut butter.
#4 Mango Green Smoothie
Did you know that mango actually reverses diabetes? Pretty shocking, right? It’s so sweet and delicious, we tend to think it’s bad for us. The reality is that it’s pretty powerful in controlling blood glucose.
#5 Cherry Almond Smoothie
Cherries are such a tart little treat to add to smoothies. Wanna make it better? Use frozen cherries.
#6 Fruit-Free Green Smoothie
This may take some getting used to, I realize. But this smoothie is a refreshing take on a green smoothie. Instead of relying on fruit for flavor, it uses lemon and parsley, instead.
#7 Peach, Kale, Coconut Smoothie
Adding peaches to your smoothie is a surefire way to make it delicious. I promise. Plus, coconut balances it out so that you’ve got all those healthy fats that your brain craves. Oh, and the kale.
#8 Cilantro-Mango Detox
I love adding cilantro to my smoothies because it is such a fun depth of flavor. Try this yummy version, and you will probably wonder why you never tried it before.
#9 Carrot Cake Smoothie
All of the best parts about carrot cake, but in a blender. It’s delicious, comforting, and healthy.
#10 Vanilla Lime Green Smoothie
Vanilla and lime go together surprisingly well, and they make you forget that you’re drinking vegetables. Give this recipe a try for a refreshing start to your day.
