The finest green smoothierecipe: how to prepare it! A quick and easy green smoothie recipe for beginners
that is delicious, healthful, and only requires four ingredients! I'll also
share my advice on making smoothies for meal preparation!
Since roughly ten years ago,
I've been drinking a green smoothie every day. So ever since I started this
blog, I've wanted to create a post on "how to make a green smoothie"
with all of my tips and techniques! Please sit in while we begin since this
essay and movie are lengthy and extensive.
I'll start by explaining how
to prepare smoothies for meals. I'm always ready to whip up a delectable green
smoothie on demand. Because every morning minute before the kids awaken is
valuable! I don't want to waste time slicing fruit, measuring protein powder,
etc.
I'll then give you my go-to
recipe for green smoothies! It's an easy green smoothie recipe for beginners
that is packed with greens and protein and naturally sweetened with fruit (no
additional sweets).
How to make green smoothies
for a dinner?
Green smoothies, in my
opinion, taste best when they are served freshly made, right out of the
blender. As a result, I prepare smoothies in advance by keeping all the
necessary components on hand. This implies that I always keep frozen fruit and
vegetables in my freezer, as well as pre-portioned protein powder and other
ingredients.
1) Freeze the bananas:
The best green smoothies, in
my opinion, must include bananas because of their inherent sweetness and creamy
texture. So, when you go grocery shopping, make sure to buy frozen bananas for
smoothies!
Allow the bananas to mature
before slicing them in half or thirds. On a baking sheet, quickly freeze food,
then transfer to a freezer-safe, airtight container to preserve.
2. Use frozen fruit and
vegetables:
In addition to one frozen
banana, this green smoothie recipe calls for 1 cup of frozen fruit. The secret
to making the thickest, creamiest green smoothies is to use frozen fruit and
greens. You'll note that I don't use ice in any of my smoothie recipes since I
don't like the way it makes smoothies taste and feel frosty.
When food is hard to come by
in the winter, I advise storing up on frozen fruit. Get seasonal vegetables on
sale during the summer and flash freeze it similarly to the bananas!
Fruit for a smoothie made with
greens:
Here are some ideas for fruits
to include in this recipe for a green smoothie. My favorite combo of mango and
pineapple is used in this post. Be advised that darker fruits like blueberries,
blackberries, cherries, etc. will affect the hue and cause you to produce a
brown smoothie instead of a green one.
·
Mangosteen
·
Pineapple and strawberries
·
Oranges
·
Cherries,
·
Peaches,
·
Blueberries and raspberries
·
Grapefruit
Useful greens for a green
smoothie:
I advise sticking with spinach
as your go-to green if you're creating this easy green smoothie recipe for the
first time. When we get home after our shopping, I buy a big container of
spinach or super greens and put them in the freezer. I'll be prepared for the
upcoming months and I'll know the spinach is fresh. Here are some further
ideas:
·
Spinach
·
Kale
·
Italian chard
·
Romain greens
·
Carrot greens
·
Celery tops
·
Greens, collard
·
Celery
Blend greens and cubes of
frozen food:
If your freezer doesn't have
much room, you can blend fresh spinach (or other desired greens) and a small
bit of water until the result is smooth. After freezing in ice cube trays,
place frozen greens cubes in an airtight freezer container. When we rented a
condo and didn't have a second freezer in the basement, I used to do this.
Pre-portion additions:
For me, measuring out the
ingredients for my green smoothies has changed everything! Before my five
children wake up for the day, I nurse my infant, work out, take a shower, have
breakfast, and sip my coffee. To get the most alone time possible before 7:30
AM, I have my morning routine down to a science.
So, I make two weeks' worth of
smoothies at once by measuring all the contents into these tiny containers.
Even my Vitamix blender has a drawer underneath it where I keep the containers
for quick access. No measuring is necessary; all I have to do is lift the lid
and add the ingredients.
Top Green Smoothie Ingredients:
I started including extras in
the recipes for my green smoothies. I had more energy all day just a few scoops
of nutritious supplements, and the green smoothies tasted even better! So here
are a few ideas I have!
My preferred plant-based,
whey-free protein powder comes in vanilla and chocolate.
A protein boost with no taste:
collagen powder! also beneficial for intestinal health
Maca: for
better hormone balance and enhanced fertility.
Chia: seeds
are a natural source of protein.
Omega: 3s in
ground flaxseed - a dose!
Immune system booster: bee
pollen.
Antioxidants in acai berry
powder!
Raw cacao nibs are a
nutritious way to include some chocolate!
seeds or nuts
Coconut Oil:
Boosts metabolism and prolongs feeling full!
Cinnamon:
Making a green smoothie: the
steps:
Step No, 1: Use a Vitamix blender as the first step!
If you've been reading my blog
for a long, you probably already know that I only blend with a Vitamix and have for the past ten
years. So, it should come as no surprise when I say that using a Vitamix
blender is the finest way to make silky smooth green smoothies!
Can anyone else relate to me
buying my first Vitamix because I got tired of swallowing my green smoothies?
The Vitamix was the solution to my need for a blender that would crush anything
and everything I placed into my smoothies.
I urge you to purchase a Vitamix as soon as possible if you don't
already have one.
Step No, 2:
Add liquid ingredients When
making a green smoothie, it's important to always add the liquid ingredients
into the blending container first. This prevents the other ingredients from
getting stuck under the blades and also creates a vortex that pulls everything
into the blades for a smooth blend!
Best liquids for a recipe for
a green smoothie:
Because I believe it gives my
green smoothies the best flavor and texture, I always add some type of
non-dairy milk in them. However, a variety of liquids can be used, including:
·
Almond
milk
·
Coconut Milk Regardless of the dairy milk
content
·
Oat milk, rice milk
·
Cacao Milk
·
Coconut water (use at your own risk; not
advised)
Step No, 3:
Add the frozen greens in step
three.
Then, sprinkle your preferred
frozen greens over the liquid.
Step No, 4:
Add frozen fruit and extras
By placing the frozen fruit on
top of the greens, you may prevent the leaves from adhering to the sides and
assist force them all into the blades.
Step No, 5:
Blend
It's time to put our green
smoothie in the blender. Start the blending process at a low speed and raise it
progressively to high. 50–60 seconds, or until the green smoothie is smooth, on
high speed!
Enjoy the green smoothie by pouring it into
one to four cups.
