Green Smoothies

Are you a green smoothie drinker? In my house, everyone drinks them! They're a great way to ensure we get that extra serving of veggies and I also like to sneak in some supplements that don't always taste very good on their own. Plus, they are a great 3pm pick me up!

{ k i d  a p p r o v e d  s m o o t h i e }

~ 1/2 frozen banana or avocado

~ 1 cup spinach, kale, dandelion and/or chard

~ 1 cup frozen fruit such as mango, blueberries, etc (mango's a big hit right now)

~ 1.5tsp hemp hearts or chia seeds

~ 1 tsp coconut oil

~ 1tsp local honey

~ 1 cup almond mylk

Put in blender and blend until smooth, adding more mylk if needed. I also add some high quality probiotic powder and some Calm Kids magnesium supplement to the kids.

~ 1 frozen banana

~ 2 cups spinach (or other leafy green)

~ 1tbs hemp hearts

~ 1-2 cups almond mylk

~ 1.5 tsp matcha

~ desired amount of agave or honey

~ splash of vanilla

I started making the matcha smoothie after I fell in love with Starbuck's green tea frapps. I didn't love the price nor the empty calories so I wanted something that was just as yummy but also good for me. This, I dare say, is even better!
