My Go-To Smoothie for a Refreshing Reset
Favourite Green Smoothie
Most days, I’m perfectly content sipping on water and coffee. These two staples are my hydration go-tos and fuel me through just about everything. But every once in a while, especially after a couple of days of less-than-ideal eating or when I’m feeling a bit run down, I find myself craving something that feels like a reboot. That’s when I turn to my favourite green smoothie recipe.
This smoothie is my ultimate go-to because it checks all the boxes: it’s fresh, packed with greens, and oh, so delicious. It’s like a vibrant burst of health in a glass, and it always leaves me feeling rejuvenated.
Favourite Green Smoothie
1 cup orange juice
1 cup apple juice
1 cup frozen mango
1 cup frozen pineapple
1 cup spinach, packed
1 cup kale, packed
2 medium celery stalks
Juice of 1 lime
1-inch piece of ginger, peeled (optional)
Ice
Instructions:
Add all the ingredients to a high-powered blender and blend until smooth. Pour it into your favourite glass and enjoy!
This smoothie is more than just a tasty treat. It’s a powerhouse of nutrients:
The greens: Spinach and kale bring a hefty dose of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron and antioxidants.
The fruits: Mango and pineapple add natural sweetness and vitamin C while providing a tropical vibe.
The extras: Celery and ginger elevate the smoothie’s freshness factor, while lime juice adds a zesty kick.
On top of all that, it’s hydrating and energizing - exactly what I need when I’m hitting the reset button. The best part? It’s so easy to throw together. I buy bags of frozen mango and pineapple, so I almost always have that on hand, and I often buy bags of pre-washed spinach and kale there as well, and this his so great to have around when whipping up a smoothie. I will often throw some of the greens into a container and freeze for later use - it’s perfectly ok to add frozen spinach and kale if that’s what you have available.
Whether I’m starting my day with it or using it as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, it always hits the spot.
So, if you’re feeling like your body needs a little TLC, try my favourite green smoothie recipe - maybe it will become you and your families new favourite too.
