I honestly love a green smoothie. I really like any smoothie, but there is something about a green smoothie that makes me feel extra nourished. I have been making smoothies since college, and have gone through a lot of trial and error to what I like in them. I try to keep it simple, and not add any extra sweeteners, or things like that because I have found that it makes your smoothie taste artificially sweet. The fruit you add will sweeten up nicely! I also have a disclaimer in that I have never really measured anything as I make my smoothies. Eyeballing works well because it is all about what you like, and how you like it to taste!

| I included two nut butters because I just picked up the peanut butter with flax and chia seeds from TJ's, and its so yummy, and I had to share! |
Green smoothie ingredients:
-GREENS! --I use what ever I have= kale, spinach, frozen, etc. I like a lot, so its super green!
-Frozen pineapple
-Frozen grated ginger- I get this at Trader Joe's! [pictures below!]
-Spoonful of nut butter- I've been loving almond
-Spoonful of chia seeds- for fiber and protein
-Collagen peptides- only if I have some [not pictured because I am out! will link my fave!]
-Milk/nut milk of choice and/or water- I usually do some nut milk and some water. I only add as much as I need to keep the texture of the smoothie thicker.

| This is the frozen, grater ginger from TJ's. Just punch out a cube and put it in your smoothie! |
To make the smoothie:
Add as much as you want of each ingredient to the blender, and bam, green smoothie! If I am feeling extra, I will make it a smoothie bowl, and top it with whatever fresh fruit I have, GF granola, coconut shreds, and more chia seeds.
**Everything in my ingredients list are kind of like my baseline of what I always put. Sometimes I want to try new things or just change it up, so I will just add to this baseline. I like to add frozen berries (it won't be green anymore), avocado, fresh lemon juice, cucumber or apple. I will sometimes buy the frozen açaí packets at TJ's, and that to the smoothie so I can make an at home açaí bowl!**
