My brother made us green smoothies today. Bananas, pear, spinach, water, ice cubes and a “hint” of orange juice. He says, “if you’re feeling adventurous, add an apple too!”

After my last failed attempt at making a banana-mango-peach smoothie, I tried again.. this time with sweet leaf lettuce and some spinach. Perfect!

Made the best green smoothie today! Inspired by Sunshel <3 I was using cocoa, almond milk and chia seeds. With her help I now understand that FAT shouldn’t be mixed in anyway with fruit. (For digestion reasons.) I kind of new this already with the help of The Raw Food Detox Diet. However, I didn’t have the courage to switch it up until now. Instead, I have been increasing the amount of banana I add!
Green Smoothie:
2 frozen bananas
2 Handfuls of spinach
Handful of ice cubes
1/3 cup of water (may need more or less depending on your preference)
This will keep me full all morning and is STILL just as SMOOTH and DELICIOUS!! :)YEA! :)
(This photo really does the green smoothie justice.. it looks gorgeous!)

Is your green smoothie too bitter?
Try adding lemon juice! This morning I made a smoothie with mango, peach, banana and some random greens that I got at the Farmers Market. It was disgusting, to say the least. My dad recommended adding lemon juice. I tried it and it actually took away some of the bitterness.
Next time, no mystery greens in my smoothie.

Tip: Add the green tops of strawberries to your smoothies instead of throwing them out. They too are full of nutritional benefits!

Smoothie for lunch at Whole Foods. Mango, banana, peach and kale. Oh, I’ve missed peach. (Still not in season though, the peaches they used were frozen!)
-
Mango tastes great in green smoothies! This one had banana, mango, a little pineapple and a huge handful of red leaf lettuce.

Green Smoothie Guidelines
Victoria Boutenko’s Guidelines to Drinking Green Smoothies
Here’s one that really stood out to me because I’ve been noticing lately that many people add peanut butter, yogurt, milk.. things like that. The smoothies taste good with fruit and greens alone, trust me!**Edit: Exception.. I’m a fan of Sunwarrior protein powder!
Don’t add anything to your smoothie except greens, fruit and water. I don’t recommend adding nuts, seeds, oils, supplements or other ingredients to your green smoothie. Most of these items slow down the assimilation of green smoothies in your digestive tract and may cause irritation and gas. Even though I provide recipes with more than basic ingredients in my books I encourage you to stick to the basic green smoothie recipe (fruit and greens) in your daily routine.

Afternoon green smoothie! Apple, banana and a little pineapple + Spinach. I always take my vitamins (2000mg of C and 1 capsule of B-Complex) after or while I’m having my smoothie/first meal of the day.

uniionjworld asked: I used to make smoothies all the time, like every day. And I always used bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and yogurt. Today I tried using water instead of yogurt and it doesn't really taste any different! I can taste more of the fruit; it's awesome! :):) !!

Attention: Smoothies taste good withOUT unhealthy dairy or faux orange juice.
Just add water and some ice cubes!
Not to mention, you’ll be cutting several pointless calories and saving some bucks.
(If you’re wondering: Why is dairy unhealthy? What do I mean by ‘faux orange juice’?)
