What’s Inside

Greens. I’ve used a combination of spinach and kale. Spinach is subtle in flavor and helps balance out the bitterness of the kale. You can also substitute kale for chard! But in this smoothie I used cilantro, parsley, and spinach.

Coconut Milk. I know a lot of people like using coconut water as the “liquid” in their smoothies. But the coconut milk here really brings the smoothie together. It gives your drink a creaminess that you’ll really love. Plus it’ll keep you satisfied longer than if you chose to use coconut water.

Ginger. Fresh ginger is anti-inflammatory and a great source of antioxidants. Don’t worry about it being overpowering in this smoothie though. A little bit goes a long way and adds the perfect kick to wake you up.

Green Apple. This adds sweetness and flavor to your smoothie. Skip the table sugar, one apple adds a good chunk of Vitamin C.

You’ll have a nutritious and delicious breakfast smoothie ready in no time!
