Green Smoothie Recipe for Beginners

Posted 2013-09-21 by Clare DeVille ⇒ follow

For those of you new to green smoothies, you'll find this version somewhat smoother and sweeter than my previous Super Green Smoothie recipe, more of a beginner's style! But still packed full of beneficial nutrients.

Ingredients

Kale - 1 piece, washed and stems discarded

Lettuce - 1 large piece or a couple of smaller ones

Cucumber - about 6cm worth

Apple - half, remove seeds and core, leave skin

Parsley - 1 sprig

Coconut milk - 1/4 of a cup

Water - 1 and 1/2 cups

Method
Throw everything in the blender and mix until smooth. Drink immediately.

Tips

Some of the ingredients are on the Environmental Working Group's Dirty Dozen list - these are best purchased organically grown.

If it still isn't sweet enough for you, use a whole apple or add one date (soften in hot water first).

Coconut milk can stored in a jar in the fridge once opened for up to a week or more.

If you find it too fibrous still, peel the apple.

If you enjoy a breakfast smoothie, try my Blueberry Bliss recipe , or Banana & Peanut Butter .
