Energizing Green Smoothie

    Green smoothies can actually taste great with the right ingredients! I happened to make this on St. Patrick's Day when I was visiting Maui, HI.  I added fresh cut pineapple and it went so well with the fresh lime and spinach.  Avocado makes the smoothie creamy, and then you don't need to add yogurt or banana but you can if you would like to. Cilantro gave this smoothie an extra boost of fresh herb flavor, I love cilantro.  Enjoy! 

Tip: If you want to substitute the spinach for kale you can, both are full of B vitamins and calcium. 

Healthy tip: Cilantro is a great detoxifying herb for the liver.  It is also a natural diuretic that can help with bloating and water retention. 


Ingredients:
  • 1/2 squeezed fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 avocado
  • 1 handful fresh cut pineapple
  • 1 handful of fresh blueberries or strawberries 
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup ice
  • splash of regular milk or 1 Tbsp yogurt 

Recipe: 
  1. Blend all ingredients together in a blender. 
  2. Slice a strawberry or pineapple on the side of the glass for decoration.
