What is a Greens Smoothie?

A greens smoothie is made with healthy fruits and vegetables like spinach, kale, and lettuce. You can mix in fruits as well, and there is no right or wrong way to add in veggies. 

Some vegetables like kale have a very pronounced flavor, while others like lettuce can be milder. Based on your specific tastes, you can create combinations with almond milk to create a healthy blended drink that makes it a great meal or snack!

Benefits of a Greens Smoothie

Green smoothies provide many benefits because of the ingredients they are made with. You can essentially get all the nutrients from a day’s worth of fruits and vegetables in one serving! As a result, they are good for digestion, promote healthy skin and nails, reduce inflammation, and improve your overall health. 

When you add in foods that are high in fiber and protein, you will also feel fuller and more satisfied throughout the day. Similarly, they include a high content of vitamins and minerals without any added sugars, so your body will thank you in the long run. 

Here are some of the benefits of common ingredients found in greens smoothies:

• Avocados: contain good fats that help your skin stay hydrated
• Spinach: include high levels of folate that repair DNA and renew your skin
• Kale: has antioxidants and fiber that can reduce inflammation and support digestion
