One of my absolute favorite things is a Green Smoothie. It’s a fast, easy, and delicious way to get a big dose of vitamins and minerals, plus it tastes FANTASTIC!!
Don’t let the color’s fool you!! It is sweet and filling – even the kids love it!! They love to name it the “Monster Smoothie” or “Shreck Smoothie” or some other fun name but believe me, kids go crazy for it!! And it’s a great way to sneak in some powerful green nutrition into their diet.

It’s super fast to make and a great breakfast or snack option, especially for people on the go and those looking to lose weight. It takes about 1 min to make, literally!!
This recipe is super simple. All you need is a blender and the following ingredients:
• 1-2 bananas
• frozen peaches
• frozen mango
• a couple handfuls of spinach
• water
• ice (if desired)
Add enough water to blend and enjoy, that’s it! Forget the dehydrating morning latte and get the glow with a Green Smoothie instead.

I’ve have clients who have literally changed their lives just by adding Green Smoothies into their routine. Great for weight loss, digestive health, supporting the immune system, and as a healthy and filling snack. After a couple of weeks you’ll have that ‘Glow’ – glowing skin, hair, nails, even eyes get brighter! Who doesn’t want that?!
Try any combo you like, all you need is a base of bananas, fruit of your choice and a couple handfuls of your favorite green (I like spinach as it has a really mild flavor that blends well).
Go ahead, try it, I know you want to!! It may just change your life!!

okay I’m making this for lunch today!! You are the best
I want to try it. Thanks.
You wont taste the spinach.! If you kids are nosy and avoid veggies like mine, the spinach turn them off. Berries hide the green color. Just dont let the see you add it.
I’m def gonna try this! Thanks!!
How much of the frozen peaches and mangoes do you add?
Wow look at that color!! Since I’m on a weightloss journey at the moment I might just have to give this a try!
Looks green and healthy!
Have to agree! One of the best foods ever! I actually LOVE the green colour…it’s just so fresh, beautiful, and ALIVE!
it looks realy good. I can’t wait to try it.
Wow!!!! This is awesome….
I will try this
This looks so yummy! I have been looking for some good smoothie recipes, this looks like a winner! I also found another great site that has free smoothie recipes too. http://www.bestsmoothierecipes.org/
Just made my first one…took about 2 minutes to make and probably less than that to slurp it down
Yummy
I’ve seen this recipe with Greek Yogurt and/or milk or soy milk. What is the concensus on that? What about adding Oats or Flax, would either of those reduce the weight loss benefits?
Can anyone recommend a mixer to make green smoothies? I’ve checked into Vitamix but they are to high priced for my budget. Thanks!
I used blueberries instead of peaches cause I couldnt find frozen ones and it makes a purple smoothie. My 3 yr old only tastes the banana and LOVES it! Great way to get some greens into his diet! Thanks!
Also if your on weight watchers this is 0 points!!! Its a win!
I’m going to make this 2night (I ♥ the ingredients individually, so hopefully they’ll taste great 2gether) thank you
