Green Smoothies – Video Demonstration
Colleen Patrick-Goudreau shows how to make one variation of a Green Smoothie. You may fiddle with the ingredients, making it sweeter or less sweet, choosing kale over spinach, adding a pear instead of an apple. Consider this a basic recipe that can be modified to your liking.

I make a variation of this almost every day. It’s a great way to eat the greens often without having to prepare them, steam them, boil them, what not. Lazy, I know, but the smoothie is super yummy too so there!

Green smoothies are the best! I like the idea to use apples – they are so abundant here in Washington this time of year, I’m getting at least 10#/week from my CSA.
I also like to add frozen mango chunks to mine (from Trader Joe’s) – they add such great flavor and creaminess.

I am definitely a smoothie fan! Now that I grow fresh greens in my garden, I pick a handful in the morning when I get back from my run and add fruit to that. I fluctuate between chard, spinach and collard greens. I like to use half water and half plant milk as the liquid base, and I add a tablespoon of flax for omega3s and texture. I always use 1 banana and then about a cup of some other fruit (frozen or fresh, depending on the time of year). Such a great breakfast and you get so many servings of healthy fruits and veg all at once!

I just made this and it is delicious! I even got my sister to try it and she liked it! I’ll definitely be making it again.

I have been drinking this exact smoothie for years! Over the years, it started to taste a little too sweet for my liking, so I squeeze half a grapefruit in it as well for a little tartness.
