For the past couple of months, I’ve swapped my usual bowl of cereal in the morning for a green smoothie. I’ve found that I have so much more energy and feel full longer throughout the day. I’ve tried several different recipe’s and have even combined some recipes to create this one, which is my favorite! I’ve recently added the chia seeds because I’ve been hearing how good they are for you.
1 cup of spinach (pressed down)
3 large kale leaves (without the veins)
1 1/4 cup orange juice (or apple juice if you prefer)
1 tablespoon flax seeds (optional)
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
1 banana
6-7 ice cubes
Do you have any amazing smoothie recipes? I’d love to try them so feel free to share them in the comments below!

I will have to try your recipe! It looks to-die-for… I like when it is that bright green! Mine are always darker because of berries… 🙂
mmm im going to have to try this asap!
Your smoothie looks delish! I’ve been juicing those similar ingredients, maybe adding in a green pepper and a green apple, along with one carrot for sweetness. Some days I crave it, some days I can’t stand the taste of something so…”natural” haha. But this really is great! You encourage me to keep at it!

Yummy!! I love this smoothie! I also love strawberry, banana, and orange juice smoothies! I add some protein and flax too for an extra nutritional bonus! xoxo
I used to make smoothies all the time last summer, I must get back into it! This sounds delicious!

I am so into the green smoothies lately too! They really do make me feel so much better!
I need to try this! I have oatmeal every morning and I am hungry like 5 minutes later. This sounds like a great recipe. I wonder if it would work in my magic bullet. Thank you for sharing this!
Yum! I drink a smoothie each morning and have been experimenting with different flavors– I do a similar one but add pineapple, mango, and coconut water. I’ll try this one tomorrow. Pinning now!
Ok im new at this are you using a blender or a juicer?
