When I decided to make just green food this week for St. Patrick's Day I did not plan on making a whole bunch of green smoothies but this one is really good and I just had to post it. Not only is it good for you but it's super delicious. It has easily become my new favorite breakfast.
This smoothie has a whole bunch of really delicious, fresh ingredients that are really great for you.
Spinach, is great for your skin but it also promotes healthy brain function.
Broccoli, boosts your immune system and fights cold virus'.
Kiwi, is high is fiber and antioxidants, has been found to protect against cancer.
Pineapple, improves digestion and strengthens bones.
Orange, is rich in vitamins and minerals, lowers cholesterol and high blood pressure as well and boosts immune system.
Ingredients:
1 Kiwi (peeled)
1/4 Cup Fresh Broccoli Florets
1 Cup Frozen Pineapple
1 Navel Orange
~4 Cups Raw Baby Spinach
1/4 Cup Water
Blend all ingredients until liquefied.
Pour into a festive glass and enjoy.
I love this smoothie because it tastes more like a tropical cocktail than a ultra healthy smoothie. If you don't think it's sweet enough you could add a small sweet apple, like a honey crisp, or more pineapple.
Makes One Large Glass.
