I’m calling this the Green Giant Smoothie because (almost) everything in it is green!
Spinach, celery, pears, wheat grass… the banana and coconut oil aren’t but you could argue the case that the banana started out green!
Okay that’s getting a little crazy.
But greens are king – in the nutrition world. They pack a nutritious punch and are loaded with essential vitamins and minerals, which are important for optimum health.
“An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is an old saying; but I also think, “A green smoothie a day keeps the doctor away” And you can put an apple IN your green smoothie 🙂 It’s the best of both worlds.
Get your greens in everyday and this smoothie is one delicious way to do it!
