Super Filling Green Smoothies To Power Your Day

Super Filling Green Smoothies To Power Your Day

You don’t have to be an exercise junkie to enjoy a green smoothie. Green smoothies supply the body with an assortment of nutrients, no matter if you are drinking them for breakfast or post-workout. They are incredibly easy to make and they are great ways to sneak more green vegetables into your diet.

How To Make These Magical Elixirs

There are a few tricks to know in order to make your green smoothie a little more palatable. You want to have a pleasant balance of flavors because you don’t want your smoothies to be off-putting. The perfect balance is 60% fruits and 40% greens, especially if you are working with strong flavors like kale or chard. You can be a little more generous with spinach because the flavor isn’t as strong.

Remove The Stems

Always remove the stems! Leaving the stems on your kale, beet greens, or chard is a great way to end up with a slightly bitter flavor. Always remove the central stems and tear up the leaves before blending them.

Avoid Sugar

The last thing you want to add to a green smoothie is sugar. Some people may worry that the fruit/vegetable flavor profile won’t be palatable, so they add sugar, which is a mistake. If you feel as though you need your smoothie to be sweeter, try adding one Medjool date (unsulfured) or a teaspoon of raw agave syrup. You can always avoid sugar by using naturally sweet fruits like mango, pineapple, or berries.
