I was really hesitant to try it at first but when I saw the photo you posted of your kid drinking it down, I figured if a kid likes it (rare that children like bitter vegetables like spinach or kale), it must be worth trying.AMAZING. I mean, better than dessert, better than fresh watermelon on a hot day – Just amazing. I view the yoga-pant clad, muscle tee wearing crowd with an air of amusement and firmly believe that they are masochists desperately trying to lie to themselves that their green smoothies are delicious and healthy.That said, this was the best thing I have every put in my mouth…ever. Let me tell you – I do not believe that anything of that particular color of green should be used for human consumption. I hope you love this healthy smoothie recipe as much as we do – enjoy! Bright, fresh, healthy, and 100% delicious. The recipe makes 16oz so you could split with a partner, or keep the whole thing for yourself. Pour the smoothie into glasses then add a straw. NO color editing here – the smoothie really is this bright green, but doesn’t taste like it! Pop the lid on top then blend until silky smooth. Kale can be a bit tough, but it’s blended to smithereens in this high-powered blender.įinally add 1 cup no sugar added 100% apple juice. I have a Blendtec and absolutely love it.

It’s super easy to take care of and grows well into the fall.Īdd the kale plus 1 cup packed baby spinach into a blender with 1 cup frozen mango chunks.
I am counting down the days until our farmer’s market opens so I can use mountains of local kale in here! If you are thinking about starting a vegetable garden this year, consider planting kale. Start with 1 cup packed chopped curly kale. When you’re ready to drink, pour the contents into a blender, add the liquid, and then blend! Stuff the kale, baby spinach, and mango into ziplock baggies then freeze. Oh! This green smoothie makes great smoothie packs.

Who am I to tell you when and how to drink it though – just go for it!
Pair it with a couple scrambled eggs or piece of peanut butter toast for a well-rounded breakfast, or even replace your nightly fermented grape juice with this smoothie instead. We’ve been drinking Best-Ever Green Smoothies in the morning or after nap time for a boost of healthy greens, but it’d also make a great pre-workout drink. I tried water and it tasted a little bland. That said, if you want to cut down on sugar you could try using coconut water in place of some of the juice. Loads of healthy, dark leafy greens more than make up for using 100% apple juice as the blending liquid, plus the taste is just so gosh darn good. Normally I would never put juice in a smoothie – I prefer to eat my calories vs drink them (except when they’re in fermented grape form, of course) – but for me the pros outweigh the cons in this case. I mean, a salad in a glass that tastes like a tropical drink? Heck yes! and has had one every single day since Saturday. If you are a green smoothie skeptic, promise me you’ll try this combo. Just four ingredients – kale, baby spinach, frozen mango, and apple juice – are blended until brilliantly green, and silky smooth. I got back in my baby’s good graces the following day when we recreated the smoothie at home for a fraction of the cost, and it ended up being a dead ringer for the $8 one. Needless to say we got one smoothie to split between the three of us, but it ended being so unbelievably delicious that I accidentally drank more than my share and made Lincoln cry because he didn’t get as much as he wanted. I could buy, like, eight semi-useful things from the Target $1 bin for that kind of cash! Watch How to Make It!
We trekked inside, glanced at the menu, and it was all I could do to prevent a Ben-shaped hole from appearing in the doorway because the smoothies were EIGHT DOLLARS a piece. I can’t take all credit as the combination comes from a new-to-me smoothie shop that Ben, Lincoln, and I visited last weekend. The BEST EVER Green Smoothie, if I do say so myself! You’ve probably seen 1,001 green smoothie recipes on the interwebs, and I have a couple here on IGE, but I’ve officially found the most delicious one yet.
