Green smoothies are quick to make and a tasty way to enjoy leafy greens. With the right balance of ingredients, they can be refreshing and satisfying.
Build a balanced smoothie
- Leafy greens such as spinach or kale.
- Fruit like banana, mango, pineapple or berries for natural sweetness.
- Protein from yogurt, milk or a spoon of nut butter.
- Healthy extras such as chia seeds, oats or flaxseed.
Freeze ripe fruit in portions so your smoothie is cold and creamy without ice.
Keep it balanced
Use more vegetables than fruit where you can, and enjoy smoothies alongside whole foods rather than instead of them.
Make it your own
Experiment with herbs like mint or a squeeze of lime to keep flavors fresh.
