Today, I wanted to share a delicious green smoothie recipe that was given to me by one of my Integrative Nutrition classmates! (It is the best green smoothie I've ever had!) It is sweet and has a very 'tropical' flavor!
Tropical Green Smoothie
Ingredients:
- 1 cup coconut water
- 1/2 cup mango, frozen
- 1/2 cup pineapple
- 2 kale leaves
- 2 handfuls of spinach
- handful of sprouts (I used Trader Joe's micro greens)
Blend all ingredients in a blender!
*Note: If you are not using a Vitamix blender, it is helpful to first blend the coconut water with the greens, then add in the fruit.
*Benefits of Green Smoothies*

- Glowing skin
P.S... Since many of you have contacted me with questions about my experience as a student at Integrative Nutrition, I wanted to let you know that there is an informational webinar tomorrow! (Saturday, May 7 @ 11am EDT) This link will lead you to the registration page! :)
Have a great weekend!!
oooo i have all those ingredients at home. i can't wait to try it. i made a beet smoothie yesterday it was yummy. i am hoping it will help defeat the last bit of this sickness. see ya sat.
ReplyDeleteThat does look good. I haven't tried many green smoothies... what I don't like, is that my blender won't really blend, so I have small chunks of leaves floating... I don't like any chunks floating in my smoothies, they're supposed to be smooth! I might just go out and get the ingredients to this smoothie though.
ReplyDeleteAlyssa~ Have you tried blending just the greens with just the water before adding in the fruit? Before I starting using a Vitamix, that usually solved that problem! :)
ReplyDeleteI love green smoothies!
