What greens to put in a smoothie recipe?

Leafy green vegetables (spinach, kale, chard, and romaine lettuce) are high in fiber, protein, iron, folate, and a bunch of other vitamins and minerals that you probably didn’t know you needed . You can pretty much add whichever greens you want. I first started with the basic recipe (the “no fail” recipe that even beginners would like), which uses spinach, and I built the variations from there.

Are green smoothies really that good for you?

I definitely think so! Green vegetables blended with fruits, yogurt or kefir , milk (dairy or non-dairy ) and natural proteins are an amazing way to begin the day. You’ll get a great start on a ton of vitamins, nutrients, protein, and fiber.

Is it okay to drink a green smoothie every day?

According to myplate.gov , the average person should consume 3 cups of vegetables a day (or more). Green smoothies are the perfect way to get in a portion of your daily requirement for fruits and vegetables.
