Back on Track Green Smoothie

February 10, 2016 By Adell Leave a Comment

Back on Track Green Smoothie-6I am so excited to share this recipe I made using my new VITAMIX blender. I am in love with it! It’s pretty amazing how you can blend up whole fruits and vegetables and then drink them for breakfast. Such an easy way to include more nutritious food in your diet. I don’t know about you but I really enjoy drinking my greens. I love a good salad but it just feels good to start your day with a green smoothie. This smoothie has so many good things in it. So, if you are feeling a little sluggish, and need help getting “back on track” with healthier food choices, make this smoothie for breakfast or even an afternoon snack! You will be glad you did.

Back on Track Green Smoothie-12I know a Vitamix is an investment but I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for. I could go on and on about this blender. It really is a game changer. It creates the smoothest smoothies & the best part, easy to clean! No disassembly required. The 7 year warranty isn’t bad either. It is a must have in my opinion!

  • 2 pieces kale, stems removed & chopped
  • handful of spinach
  • 1 apple, cored & chopped
  • ½ cucumber, peeled & chopped
  • 1 orange, peeled & seeds removed
  • juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 banana, chopped & frozen
  • ½" fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons raw cacao nibs
  • 2 teaspoons chia seeds
Instructions
  1. Add water to your blender. Then add the ingredients as listed.
  2. Blend on high in a high powdered blender (I used a Vitamix)
  3. Serve immediately & enjoy!
  4. Makes 2 servings
Notes
If you want to prep ahead, you can freeze the greens with the banana. I like to have small bags of greens with berries or a chopped banana ready to go in my freezer so I can just throw it the blender. I'll even keep the ginger peeled and diced up in the freezer so I always have it on hand.
