Easy Saturday Green Smoothie

Oh how I love the weekend! This smoothie is an easy green fruit smoothie for a relaxed weekend morning. I like to keep it simple when possible. I remember when I would read smoothie recipes before I was a “smoothie person.” This started when my husband bought me a Vitamix for my 26th birthday. I had the desire to want to be healthier, but didn’t know how to do it. At the time the idea of putting greens in my fruit smoothie was challenging. Little did I know what I’d be eating 2 months later after the cancer diagnosis!

So here is the “Simple Saturday Smoothie” to ease into your green smoothie consumption:

Simple Saturday Smoothie

1 banana
3/4 cup blueberries
handful of ice (or use frozen blueberries instead)
3/4 – 1 cup almond milk or liquid of choice
1 tbsp raw almond butter
1 cup spinach, kale, or chard
honey to taste (optional- I do not use)

Now, one tip for your “green drink psychology” is to not give up trying a recipe just because you don’t have all of the perfect ingredients! For instance, if you don’t have blueberries, try another kind of berry. If you’re missing almond butter or almond milk, try peanut butter or regular milk if that’s what you prefer. I will see everyone back on Monday!
