In the Reboot Kitchen: SuperGreens Smoothie
By Jamie Webber
We love a good green juice, but we also like to switch it up and drink green smoothies. Drinking smoothies packed with tremendous amounts of greens is a great way to increase nutrients in your diet. In one smoothie, you can consume up to 3 cups of dark leafy greens, which is more than some people consume in one week!
Just blending up greens and water in a blender doesn’t sound too appetizing, so we found a way to really enjoy it by making it sweet and creamy. The only “sweeteners” we used were an apple and banana.
*A high-powered blender will guarantee a smooth finish. If your blender is not high-powered then you may have small bits of kale and spinach leaves left in your smoothie. It will still taste good but you might have to chew it!
Ingredients
- 1-2 cups spinach
- 2 kale leaves, remove stems
- 1 red apple
- 1 banana
- 1 cup (250 ml) coconut water
- 1 cup (250 ml) almond milk
- Ice cubes
Directions
- Wash produce well.
- Add ingredients to high-powered* blender and blend for at least one minute, until smooth.
- Serve and enjoy.
