Filled with good-for-you fruits and veggies, this smoothie has all the pieces you should hold you full and energized until lunch. Plus, it is downright scrumptious.

Contemporary or frozen?
For smoothies, frozen fruit are finest. It mix sup thicker than recent fruit and provides you a very chilly smoothie to take pleasure in after mixing. If you do not have frozen fruit, freeze your recent fruit for half-hour earlier than mixing or add about 1 cup of ice and mix till clean! So far as the kale and spinach go, you should use recent or frozen—both will work!

Add a thickener.
We use almond butter in our smoothie, however peanut butter, Greek yogurt, or vanilla yogurt are all nice choices. We went with 2 tbsp. on this recipe, but when you favor thinner smoothies, you’ll be able to both reduce the quantity of thickener or skip all of it collectively.

Choose your liquid. 
Almond milk is nice for the added nutty taste, however coconut milk pairs nicely for those who’re in search of extra of tropical smoothie style and provides a richer, creamier taste. Complete milk or fruit juice additionally work nicely for those who’re not feeling plant-based milk. Tip: Should you skipped the thickener, use much less liquid as nicely.
