My Favorite Super Green Smoothie Recipe
I started making this super green smoothie 10 years ago and this one became a favorite.
- 1 cup of kale – (Superfood)
- 1 cup of spinach – (Superfood)
- 1 banana
- 1 lemon
- 1 cup of water
- 1 cup of ice
- 1 tablespoon of sugar (or sweetener of your choice)
Mixing Instructions:
- Add water
- Add kale and turn blender on until you create a slurry
- Stop blender
- Add in sweetener of your choice
- Add in spinach – Start blender & work into a slurry again.
- Stop blender
- Add banana – Start blender & work into slurry again.
- Stop blender
- Add in lemon – Start blender work into slurry again.
- Stop blender
- Start blender – This is where I turn my Vitamix up to full blast and blend it well.
- Stop blender
- Add Ice – I set my Vitamix to low and let it blend the ice in well. Then crank the Vitamix to full blast for a few seconds.
Tips:
- I buy fresh and freeze all my ingredients. They keep longer but the main reason I like my smoothies really cold and this way I don’t add a lot of extra ice.
- I love my Vitamix, it is a work horse and you won’t find a better blender – I put a link below.
- If you freeze lemons peel them first, unless you are going to blend with peel. I don’t use the peel, but I throw the whole lemon in, the Vitamix will take care of the seeds.
- You can also buy the powder version of the kale and spinach
