Recipe: Clean Green Smoothie

Clean Green Smoothie Ingredients | IHODGreen Smoothie | IHODIHOD | Clean Green Smoothie

I have actually seen some really great green smoothie recipes across the www, and they are such a great solution for getting the right amounts of fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, and additional nutrients we should be consuming each day.  I recently have been reading the book Nourishing Traditions and Beautiful BabiesBoth based on the Weston Price diet that has largely changed our view on what we are putting into our bodies and what we are eating each day. My children sadly have a sweet palate based off what I probably gave them as babies (sweet based formula), but I have managed to sneak these veggies in their systems in the mornings with a Clean Green Smoothie. They eat it like yogurt, so it is thicker based. However, just blend in more milk, ice, or fruit for a juicier mix.

Clean Green Smoothie:
1 Avocado
1-2 Kiwi
1-2 Pear
2 c. Spinach
1 c. raw milk (or organic)
1/2 c. Greek Yogurt
2 Tbls. Milled Flax Seed
2-3 Tbls. Agave Nectar or Raw Honey

Optional Add ins:
1 Banana (makes it sweeter)
Coconut Oil (nutrition benefits here)
Frozen Blueberries

Blend well in a blender and serve up! This gives a good size portion to all four of us in our family (five including baby inside:)) Hope you all enjoy!

    Yum, I love a good smoothie and make them daily. Adding avocado sounds like a way to make it super creamy!

  2. YUM! You’ve combined so many of my favorite things. Looks deilcious and of course, super healthy too.

    says:

    Oh, yummy! 🙂 I love the idea of making it thicker to eat with a spoon – my go-to is coconut milk + spinach + a banana (when I need a really simple version) – so good!

    Mmm, such a great way to get those extra nutrients…I’m really glad you shared those two books also, just bookmarked them for future reading. 🙂

    Anything green sort of freaks me out, but I’ve been dying to try a green smoothie just for the heck of it. Just might try this one!

    Yum! I’ve been searching for some new smoothies to add into our rotation, so I can’t wait to try it! Thanks for sharing it with us 🙂

    Seeing this post yesterday reminded me that I have a super ripe avocado that needs some attention. Today I blended it together with some almond milk, frozen banana and some blueberry and honey for sweetness.

    The avocado may not be for everyone, but I like it 🙂

    Oh Anna, this looks fantastic!

  10. This looks like a MUST in the morning. I bet it has you feeling great… It’s amazing how you can’t taste the spinach at all in one! A great way to get all our veggies. Happy Thursday love! xo

  11. I’d love to hear about your running program! Eat lots of protein and have lots of fun 🙂 and CROSSTRAIN! I was initially reluctant to hop on the smoothie train, but they have made a huge difference for my exercise. I have way more energy when I end a workout with a smoothie rather than a cookie. 🙂

  13. I know a little late, but YUM YUM YUM!! Thanks for this link over on Jacquelyn’s bits+pieces, lady!!
