Green Smoothie Recipes
Search the web for Recipes:
Greens, fruit, water, and blend...
If it's green, leafy and edible, it's pretty much a guarantee to be good in a green smoothie. There are endless possibilities to making your personal recipes. When starting out we recommend including bananas in the mix as they are wonderful at balancing the richness of the greens' flavor. It's all about experimentation, use what's fresh and in season and make note of what you like.
For the best possible green smoothie for your body we recommend recipes using only whole food ingredients. Fresh, non-dairy, raw green smoothies offer the greatest nutritional benefit for you.
It's all about the texture. See our Blender Comparison Review.
Here are a few green smoothie recipes to get the ball rolling for you. Be sure to check out our forum for more recipes and the opportunity to share your creations and learn about others'.
