If you want another way to pack in a ton of green leafy veggies into your diet this smoothie recipe is a great place to start.
Green Avocado Smoothie
Prep time:
Makes 1 large smoothie
There are tons of green smoothie recipes out there, but I wanted to show you one that doesn’t involve any fruit.
Sometimes people don’t like fruit, and sometimes they’re on a special diet where they need to eliminate or reduce fruit.
This all-veggie green smoothie is really tasty and refreshing – and this comes from a girl who is a total sweet- and fruit-aholic! But if you do want to sweeten it up a bit, you could add a piece of fruit or some pure fruit juice or a tiny bit of stevia.

Ingredients
- 1-2 cups fresh greens or sprouts
- 1/4 cup water (approx)

- 1/2 cup cucumber
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, mint or oregano
- 1 tsp spirulina powder (optional)

Directions
- Puree everything until smooth. If you have a small blender cup, puree the greens first since they’ll shrink down and leave from for the rest of the ingredients.
