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.
