Nourishing Green Smoothie
This smoothie recipe is my favourite green smoothie and a go-to whenever I feel like I need an extra hit of greens. Not only is it delicious, but it is also so nourishing! Green smoothies really don't need to taste like grass, and this one is a great example of how good they can be. Whether you need a filling snack throughout the day, or you're looking for a good breakfast to start the morning, this one is a must try. I know you'll love it.
If you’re having this one for breakfast, you can also add in a scoop of natural protein powder; brown rice protein or pea protein are great options. One I'm currently using and loving is Amazonia Raw Protein Isolate, it works perfectly with this smoothie too, which is a bonus. By adding protein into the recipe it'll keep you fuller for longer and make for a satisfying meal.
