Green smoothies are an easy and delicious way to get more green vegetables into your daily diet. They are versatile and can be created to fit your tastes.

• Start with a base vegetable. I usually use spinach, and kale is a good option, and you can go all sprouts, too.
• Add your sprouts. Broccoli, alfalfa, red clover, and sunflower shoots work well for this part. Don’t be afraid to add some radish ​sprouts or ginger root if you want a little kick.
• Pick a fruit that you like. I try to keep it to in-season fruits, but frozen fruits fit, too. Apples and berries are great additions. Melons make smoothies tasty and add water to the smoothie. Kiwis keep the color bright green, and they are just fun to eat. Fruit adds a sweetness to the smoothie but a vegetable only smoothie is certainly an option.
• If you want a thicker smoothie, then add a banana or half an avocado. These additions make the smoothie more like a full meal. Yogurt is a good option here, too.
  • Think about adding nut butters for protein.
  • I also like to add celery to my green smoothie because I like the taste. ​Sometimes a little lemon or lime juice even some fresh mint adds just the right amount of zing.
    My favorite combination is spinach, red clover sprouts, ginger root, apple, celery and a dash of lime juice.

Put your chosen ingredients into a blender and mix them all up. It’s better to drink the smoothie slowly and not to gulp it down.
