Green Smoothie Bowl

This green smoothie bowl is one of the healthiest smoothies I have tried so far. With lots of fruits and veggies, you will get a boost of vitamins in just a few steps!

Many smoothie recipes call for a banana to create a creamy and thick consistency. So, I opted for avocado to lower the amount of natural sugar in bananas. And let me tell you – the result is fantastic! First, you can not taste avocado; the consistency is super thick.

This green smoothie bowl is rich in vitamins and fiber and a great way to get a good dose of fruits and veggies.

If you’re searching for delicious smoothie options, I highly recommend trying the blackberry smoothie bowl and the pineapple peach smoothie.

What You’ll Need to Make a Green Smoothie Bowl

Key ingredients:

• Avocado: Incredibly packed with nutrients. To name a few: vitamin K, folate, vitamin C, potassium, vitamin B5, vitamin B6, vitamin E. Avocado has more potassium than a banana. Also, the avocado is rich in heart-healthy monosaturated fatty acids and fiber.
• Pineapple: I used frozen pineapple chunks, but you can use fresh as well. Keep in mind that you may need to add ice to your smoothie when using fresh fruit.
• Mango: I used frozen mango chunks as well. Frozen fruit is great for smoothies and lasts much longer.
• Raspberry: To add a little bit of tartness to your smoothie, we added a few fresh raspberries.
• Spinach: With just a few handfuls of spinach, we are adding lots of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Spinach is known to boost your digestive health, eye health, blood pressure, and so much more.
• Milk: In this recipe, I used whole milk, but you can substitute it for any milk you prefer.

Frozen vs. Fresh Spinach

I am a firm believer in not wasting any food. So, whenever I would buy a big package of fresh spinach, usually there is plenty of leftovers before I can use all of it. One of the easiest ways to use any leftover spinach leaves is to make a smoothie. If you are not planning to make a smoothie any time soon, you can always blend spinach leaves with just a little water, pour the mixture into the ice cube tray, and leave it in the freezer.

Then, anytime you want to add spinach to your smoothie, take as many frozen cubes of spinach as you want, and you are good to go! Just make sure you remember how many frozen spinach cubes you made out of one or two handfuls of fresh spinach leaves. I had three large frozen cubes of spinach in this particular recipe using two handfuls of fresh spinach leaves.

How to Make

As with any other smoothie recipe, the instructions are pretty straightforward.

1. In a blender, put all ingredients together.
2. Blend until smooth.
3. Add more liquid if you prefer a thinner consistency.

Enjoy!
