Green Smoothie Loaded With Power Foods

Power Smoothie. Green Smoothie. Power Greens Smoothie. Super Foods Smoothie. Power Super Foods Smoothie. There are a bunch of different ways to say it, and there are a bunch of different ways to make a Green Smoothie. One of my favorite things is to come up with different ways to start my day. I always start my day with adding a variety of ingredients into my blender and I take pride in finding delicious and nutritious combinations and sharing them with you all!

Healthy Green Protein Smoothie

So, be honest, does the idea of a “Green” smoothie gross you out some? Don’t really drink “green” things all that often unless it’s green beer on St. Patty’s Day? Well, I would be one of those people that if you told me that I would be drinking anything with vegetables in it, I would have told you NO WAY. But, I have found that making smoothies is not only INCREDIBLY easy, but they are also a fabulous way to get in extra vitamins and nutrients into your diet without eating a plate full of food. I can have my smoothie made in and drank in just a matter of minutes – what other meal option can you have ready that fast that is this good for you??

Here’s why I chose the ingredients in this Green Smoothie:

Avocados – Besides being loaded with the “good fat”, they help heart health, lower cholesterol and lower triglycerides. Plus, they make your smoothie extra creamy 🙂

Bananas – Besides tasting great, they are loaded with potassium which helps muscles recover and relax, and they have also been known to help you sleep better.

Cucumbers – These are great for rehydration. Cucumbers are also a great source of vitamin B, so that means they are a natural pick-me-up.

Carrots – The orange powerfood will give you vitamin A and is also linked to preventing cancer, giving you healthier looking skin and aids in digestion.

Chia seeds – These little guys are nutritional powerhouses, I add them into every smoothie I make.

Turmeric – Soooo many benefits, but one of the main ones is it helps with inflammation.

Cinnamon – Also many benefits, one of my favorites is that it helps increase your metabolism.

Protein Powder – Helps keep you full longer and makes your smoothie extra creamy.

I hope you enjoy this Green Smoothie as much as I do! It’s a yummy way to get your greens in for the day.

  1. I love smoothies but most of them seem to use bananas for texture & sweetness and I’m not a banana fan. I often replace them with avocado. I don’t use vanilla shake mix or milk either, either going for a natural yoghurt (homemade!) and/or coconut or almond milk/water!

  2. Hmmm, this is the first time I’ve see lettuce , cucumber and carrots be blended …. thanks for the idea. Now off to see whether my blender can handle it hehe.

  3. This smoothie actually sounds and looks really good. I won a ninja IQ or something like that. Ive been making coffee fraps with it. I havent made a smoothie yet. I think Im going to make this one once I buy the ingredients. Except no tumeric for me. Thank you for sharing your recipe 🙂
