I love green smoothies. Can I tell you how much I love green smoothies? I started making green smoothies when I completed my very first detox with my yoga friends at YogaPower Studio back in 2011. I start everyday with a green smoothie. Ingredients vary day to day, but a typical day includes kale, spinach, half of a banana (fresh or frozen), mango or pineapple, chia seeds, water, and avocado or walnuts or almond meal. My kiddos like to help make smoothies and will even have some their own cup!
My smoothie making experience is only amplified by the most awesome kitchen tool ever, the Vitamix. There is no chopping involved with most ingredients I add to my smoothies and it takes about a whole 5 minutes to add the ingredients, blend, pour and clean the container.
Eating clean and using whole foods makes me feel great each and everyday. Adding a green smoothie to your day will nourish you and make you feel great too.
