Good Morning Green Smoothie

Course: Drinks
Servings: 2

Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 1 cup ice
  • 2 big handfuls of organic greens
  • 8 oz mango (frozen)
  • 2 TBSP chia seeds
  • 2 TBSP hemp seeds
  • 1 inch ginger chopped
  • 3 TBSP collagen peptides optional
  • 1 cup water or coconut water
  • 1/2 can full fat coconut milk about 8 oz
  • 1 banana frozen makes it extra cold!
  • 1/2 lemon juiced

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in blender. I usually put the ice on the bottom, greens, then the frozen fruit, and the other stuff on top.
  • Blend well. Time depends on the power of your blender, but we like ours very smooth (we have a Vitamix and LOVE it!).
  • Pour in a glass (we love to drink our smoothies in a mason jar) and use a glass or stainless steel straw to enjoy!

Notes

  • I use frozen organic mango because Trader Joes sells a bag that’s inexpensive….and then I don’t have to peel the mango. Because who has time for that?!
  • Extra smoothie will keep in the fridge for 2 days.
  • I use collagen peptides to add protein to the smoothie. If you want to learn more about other benefits of collagen, click here.
  • I store my seeds, like chia and hemp, in the fridge to keep them extra fresh.
  • In the winter I tend to not add ice to my smoothies, because…winter! When we get into warmer months I use ice and more frozen ingredients, because…summer!
  • Feel free to omit the banana if you’d like your smoothie to be less sweet.
  • In the warmer months when zucchini is abundant, throw some of that in there. Especially if you leave out the banana, the zucchini makes it nice and think. We also freeze raw zucchini and add it to smoothies all year long.
  • Variety is key to any healthy diet! So we vary the greens we use in this smoothie. Spinach, baby kale, swiss chard, even romaine sometimes.Yum!
