Green Smoothie
/Smoothies are a fantastic way to a pack a bunch of nutrients into a quick meal.
They are extremely versatile so mix it up and try new things!
Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder if you want to make sure the smoothie fills you up for a while. This is a recipe adaptation from a recipe in Color Me Vegan by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau.
Ingredients:
1/2 banana (fresh or frozen)
1 apple, quartered (not peeled)
1/2 cup frozen mango (pineapple is a great alternative)
1 loose cup spinach
1/2 inch piece ginger, peeled
1/2 tbsp flaxseed (ground if you don’t have a high powered
blender)
1 date, pitted
1 cup cold water
1/4 cup yogurt
Blend all the ingredients until fully combined. Add more or less water depending on how
thick you’d like it.
