    Even my kids drink this fruit and vegetable green smoothie and love it! This is hands-down my favorite healthy, dairy free green smoothie recipe!

    I love to start my day off with a smoothie! This Strawberry Peach Smoothie or our Jamba Juice Caribbean Passion Copycat are often in the rotation. At the start of the new year I decided to do a green smoothie cleanse using this book. It was just what my body needed to detox from all the holiday fat and sugar.

    It's amazing how "off" our taste buds can get when we are feeding our bodies nothing but garbage!

    Not only did I lose 7 pounds in 9 days, but more importantly I detoxed my body from soda, processed sugars and unhealthy fats! Other than drinking green smoothies for weight loss, there are so many good benefits from starting your day with a blend of fruit and veggies.

    Green Smoothie Benefits:

    • They provide so many good vitamins and minerals that promote weight loss
    • You fit more servings of fruits and vegetables into your day
    • It improves hydration and digestion
    • They provide antioxidants that are super beneficial
    • The folic acid found in green vegetables is known to reduce symptoms of depression

    Anyway, I had a great experience with the cleanse, but one of the best benefits was how it affected my kids! After watching me make smoothies all the time, of course they wanted to try them too! I think we were all shocked by how much they actually enjoyed them, because my kids tend to be picky!

    We have since incorporated green smoothies into our breakfasts at least a few times a week and it has been good for all of us!

    Pro tips for making Green Smoothies:

    • Blend water with greens first until the greens are fully blended and there are no big pieces.
    • If you're adding a cored apple do that next! Then blend in the rest of the fruit.
    • For a nice consistency, you will need to use a powerful blender. We love our Blendtec! This KitchenAid Blender is great too and it comes in so many fun colors.
    • We love sneaking some extra nutrients into our kids smoothies using our Balance of Nature fruit capsules! Read more about those here.

      I'm always trying to sneak more veggies into my kids' meals, and this green smoothie is the easiest and tastiest way to do it. They're excited about drinking it and I'm excited that I don't have to fight them to get in their vitamins for the day! ;)

      HI, BTN BAKING ALMOST DAILY, I USUALLY HAVE A SMOOTHIE AND ENDEAVOR TO MAKE IT VERY HEALTHY, USUALLY WITH FRUIT AS I CANT EAT ANYTHING DARK GREEN, BUT HAVE TRIED FROZEN CUKE, ROMAINE, CARROTS FOR MORE NUTRITION! THIS NAME ATTRACTED ME, WHEN I SAW 4 DIFFRENT FRUIT, PLUS SPINACH, KNEW THIS WAS WAY TOO MUCH SUGAR, MOST DEGREED NUTRITIONIST SUGGEST 2 FRUIT MAX, BUT DEFINITELY USE FLAX OR CHIA ALMOST DAILY, AND HONEY, MOLASSES, OR SOMETIME STEVIA AS WELL!

      I'M SURE THIS IS YUMMY WITH ALL THE FRUIT, BUT AM AFRAID, NOT TOO TERRIBLY NUTRITIOUS!! THX:): Kelli

      The directions talk about an Apple yet there’s no apples in the ingredients?
