Green Smoothies
Hello my friends!
Today I have installment #2 of my #CleanAndGreenWithDani series that I will be doing for the entire month of April! Remember, if you try any of these recipes or make anything green and delicious yourself, be sure to snap a photo and share it on Instagram or FaceBook using the hashtag #CleanAndGreenWithDani.
This week my focus in on green smoothies.
As for Green Smoothies, there are a lot of different roads you can travel. I’ve done my best to offer 3-very different types of Green Smoothies to show you all the options out there.
This first option is perfect for beginners.
1. Coconut Mango Smoothie (with Spinach)
Coconut Mango Smoothie
Using only 4 ingredients (coconut milk, mango, spinach + honey) this combination is fresh, light, creamy and delicious.
This flavor combo is especially popular with the kids, so much so, that in the warmer weather, I’ll turn this smoothie into ice-pops for my little ones and they have no idea that their afternoon treat is also packed with greens!
2. Double Chocolate Protein Greens
Chocolate Protein Greens
This is my go-to smoothie whenever I am doing an early morning workout!
I found this recipe from Natalie Hodson, she had an amazing health and fitness focused blog and I am currently using a workout program that I purchased from her website. With the workout she includes a whole bunch of recipes and this was one of them. It’s loaded with protein and essential fatty acids, so it’s especially great for those of you who enjoy a good workout.
3. Avocado Fruit and Veggie Smoothie
Avocado Smoothie
I love this recipe because it’s kind of like a green juice but in smoothie form. It’s packed with fruits and veggies and if you have never tried having an avocado in your smoothie before, you really must! The avocado adds such a rich, silky, decadent texture to the smoothie, it’s really quite addictive (but it a good way!).
