Green smoothies seem to be everywhere these days. But buying a bottle a day can put a damper on your wallet.

Today, I’m sharing with you one of my favorite homemade recipes for green smoothie that’s both simple and inexpensive. Why pay $8 a pop on a green smoothie bottle at the store when you can make it fresh at home?

EASY GREEN SMOOTHIE RECIPE

I have been making my own healthy green smoothie recipes at home for the past few years. Green smoothies are a delicious way to add green vegetables to your diet and to lose weight. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture‘s MyPlate food guide, *fruits and vegetables provide you with vital nutrients such as dietary fiber, potassium, folate (folic acid), vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E that are important for your health. A well-balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables provides many health benefits, such as reducing the risk of certain chronic diseases.

This is so delicious and tastes nothing like veggies, plus, it’s a great way to get a good jump start on your mornings – and one of the ways I simplify my life! 🙂

    This looks wonderful. I love the idea of using baby kale and baby spinach as opposed to the larger leaf variety. And, I have lots of frozen bananas in the freezer to be used.

    Green smoothies are such a great way to get your veggies in quickly! I used to make them often but have been slacking. This wake me up smoothie sounds awesome though. I like that it doesn’t call for too many ingredients.

    This sounds good.. I would have to cut the banana in half or out. They are high in natural sugar and being prediabetic I have to watch natural sugars as well. But does sounds good 🙂
