This delicious glass of green goodness? This, my friends, is the best way to start your day off. Hence why I call it My Favourite Green Smoothie.
It’s light, refreshing, chock full of healthy fruits and veggies and will give you an instant energy boost.
I mean, come on…would you look at that glorious glass of green goodness. Doesn’t it make you want to take a giant sip?
5 ingredients and 10 minutes from start to finish is all it takes for you to jump on board this Green Smoothie train. All aboard!
This Green Smoothie is my all time favourite breakfast go-to. It’s so easy to make and is a great way to sneak in some extra veggies first thing in the morning.
Apple, Banana, Orange, Spinach and Kale are all you need to start this smoothie party. Oh, and a blender of course 😉
The colour comes from the addition of fresh spinach and kale. Not a fan of kale in your smoothies? Not to worry! The orange balances out the “green” flavour in this smoothie, helping the sweet, fruity flavours to come through.
Pile all those goodies into your blender, add a bit of water and turn that baby on high. Let it whirl for about 3-4 minutes, or until smooth, and you’re all set to pour yourself a giant glass of My Favourite Green Smoothie.
I started having green smoothies for breakfast about 2 years ago and instantly noticed a difference in my health. I had more energy throughout the day, I felt less bloated, my skin was clearer, my nails were stronger and I just felt “better” overall.
I’ve experimented with all sorts of different flavours and additions to this green smoothie recipe – cucumber, celery, berries – and I always end up coming back to this old standby. Hence, why it’s my favourite 😉
Not only is this a great go-to breakfast, but I’ve also been known to make this for a light lunch and dinner option. It’s also a great way to “reset” your system after a day of indulgences.

Very good and versatile smoothie recipe! I didn’t have spinach, so I used lettuce. So far, it is the easiest way to have my 3 years old eat fruits and vegetables!
Great substitution with the lettuce! I love that you gave this to your 3 year old!! You get the amazing mom award! 🙂
