Green Smoothie Basics with Variations
I love smoothies because you can add your favorite leafy greens, veggies, fruits, herbs and spices, so you end up getting not only a good amount of fiber loaded with vitamins but antioxidants too! All in one delicious drink!

Green Smoothie Basics:
¾ amount of green leafy greens (spinach or baby kale)
¼ amount of fruit
1 tbsp flaxseed
1 scoop of protein powder (optional)
1-2 leaves of fresh herbs like mint, basil, or spices like a hint of cinnamon, turmeric, cardamom
Almond or other non-dairy milk or water for desired consistency
Ice, if not using frozen fruit – some might like the smoothie better when cold
Place all ingredients in this order in a good quality blender and blend for 20-30 seconds.
Cool Tip: If you are just starting out, experiment with more fruit and less leafy greens and gradually change the ratio.
Variations:
Blueberry and Basil
Strawberry and Mint
Mango and Cardamom
Apple and Cinnamon
Banana and Pineapple
To your health! Enjoy!
