Vitamin-Packed Green Smoothie

July 30, 2015 9 Comments

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Monday night I came home from work and our apartment was HOT. I knew Travis wanted a “real” meal for dinner, but cooking was the last thing I felt like doing. I had just picked up lots of fresh produce at the grocery store, and the only thing that sounded appealing to me was a cold, fresh smoothie, so I decided to whip up this Vitamin Packed Green Smoothie.

I know, that is so unlike me. I typically would consider a smoothie a pathetic dinner, but I really wanted something refreshing and my body could use the greens. I threw lots of leafy greens, part of an avocado for creaminess, and fresh fruit into the blender along with some almond milk to get things moving.

You really don’t taste the kale and spinach in this smoothie because they’re masked by the sweetness of the banana and mango. If you feel the smoothie isn’t sweet enough for you, try adding two pitted dates. I love adding these to smoothies for some natural sweetness.

This smoothie was SO good – I know I will be making it regularly throughout the summer. It’s healthy, vitamin-packed, filling, and so tasty.

    This looks yummy! I don’t normally add dates in my green smoothies, but I’ll have to try it next time. It has been SUPER hot down here in FL and humid… gross. I make a smoothie daily just to help me cool off!
