Best Green Smoothie

The recipe comes in around 270 calories and has a whopping 20 grams of fiber per serving from all that produce, which helps give it some staying power. It’s recommended that women get 25 grams a day and men 28 grams. It also adds up to deliver 9 grams of protein (yes, fruits and veggies contain some protein!), 1000% of the daily value for vitamin A, and 80% of the daily value for vitamin C, plus other nutrients, which is no surprise with all that produce.

To make for a more balanced snack, you could certainly add in that almond butter for some healthy fats (it’s really low otherwise) and maybe even some Greek yogurt for protein and creaminess.

Ingredients:

  • 2 heads of romaine lettuce
  • 1/2 cup spinach
  • 1/2 cup coconut water
  • 1 whole banana
  • 1 whole apple (core removed)
  • 1 whole pear (core removed)
  • 1 whole lemon (rind removed)
  • 1/2 cup pineapple (for a little extra sweetness optional)
  • Celery (optional)
  • Almond butter (optional)

Directions:

Roughly chop the romaine and add it to your blender with the spinach, coconut water banana, apple pear, lemon and the other optional ingredients if using.

Once that’s all blended, divide evenly into two large glasses or water bottles. Pop one in the fridge for tomorrow and enjoy the other!

Drink this and Lettuce Romaine Calm!
