Green smoothies are an easy way to get some extra veggies in! I find it particularly helpful if I am serving them to someone that is (A) not very hungry or (B) not getting enough vegetables in their diet. My boyfriend for example doesn't always feel like, or have time for, a big breakfast, so a green smoothie gives him protein, carbs (mainly from the fruit) and vegetables.
Here's the recipe for this particular smoothie, but you can make any smoothie "green" by adding spinach, kale, or cucumbers. I should say that these measurements are approximate. I usually just throw stuff in without measuring :-)
Pineapple & Banana Smoothie
- 1 whole banana (or half if you are limiting carbs)
- 1/2c pineapple
- 1/4c orange juice
- A splash of alond milk
- 2 large spoonfuls of plain Greek yogurt
- ice
- honey to taste (I didn't use any)
Throw it all in the blender and enjoy!
