Best Green Smoothie (No Banana)

Although I know the green color can be a little scary, endless blessings come from this power green smoothie drink.  It’s enjoyable and sweet even though you’re eating tons of veggies, fiber, several vitamins and nutrients, and a nice energy boost for the day. My husband was hesitant when checking out the green color.  He slowly took a sip, looked surprised, and said, “this is really good, babe!” He was hesitant no more and the smoothie was history.

Make it a Green Protein Smoothie

If you feel this smoothie is too sweet or tart, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder or a banana. Both or one of these will add a subtle sweetness.  Sit back, smile, and enjoy your smoothie while your stomach and body thank you for all the nutritional goodness.
