Admittedly, I have always found the idea of smoothie recipes a bit ridiculous. I mean, it’s a smoothie. Put whatever you like in it, add some liquid, and blend! Not difficult. But then I actually tried a few smoothie recipes from cookbooks I love, and I have to say, I was impressed. And sometimes you just need a change, because it’s very easy to have the exact same smoothie every day. Like this everyday green smoothie, which I have had nearly every single day for the past 3-5 years…
This smoothie packs a serious nutritional punch, providing plenty of fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids.
I hope you love this everyday green smoothie! It’s:
- Refreshing
- Nutrient-Rich
- Quick
- Flavourful
- & Delicious!
This smoothie makes a perfect breakfast on-the-go or at home!
Everyday Green Smoothie
This smoothie has been my breakfast 5-7 days/week for the past 3+ years and I never get tired of it! It is the perfect amount of sweet and refreshing, and I love how I feel after I drink it. Bonus: it provides most of your daily fruit requirements, plenty of omega-3 fatty acids from the hemp and flax, and a good dose of fiber!
