What's your favorite green smoothie recipe?

Mine is the Almond Fruit Smoothie. It’s amazing tasting…

Here’s the recipe:

3 leaves of kale
1 cup orange juice
1 cup frozen peaches
1 frozen banana, chunked
2 Tbs slivered toasted almonds

Add juice to electric blender, then add remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth.

To toast almonds, spread in an ungreased baking pan. Place in 350F degree oven for 5 to 10 minutes or until almonds are light brown; stir once or twice to ensure even browning.

Note that almonds will continue to brown slightly after removing from oven.

    1 Large Handful Spinach
    2 Stalks Celery (with greens on top)
    1 Cup Mango
    1 Frozen Banana
    3 Prunes
    1 Date (pitted)
    About a cup of water
    About 8 Ice Cubes
    Pinch Stevia
    (I added a little Vanilla Bean to make it special for Valentine’s Day)

    Blend on High in Vitamix, split with husband, YUM!

    2 apples
    1 lemon
    1/2 bunch spinach
    1/2 inch piece ginger

    this makes over a quart of juice. i love to have this as one of my meals!

  • Does anyone ever put sprouts in their green smoothies? I have seen lots of recipes for green drinks, but none of them ever say to add sprouts. Just wondering if there is some reason not to?

  • Here’s one I found on this site that looks tasty :)

    • 4 or 5 Oranges, Remove seeds and juice
    • 1 Kale or Collard Leaf

    Preparation

    Put the freshly squeezed Orange Juice into high power blender. Add Kale or Collard Leaf. Blend on low speed gradually increasing to highest speed until smooth. Pour into glasses and ENJOY!

    P.S. If you want it icy add a scoop of ice before blending. We prefer ours room temperature.
