How to make a green smoothie

We often make these healthy green smoothies to help get some extra greens into our diet.


Start with a bowl of fresh greens ie. spinach, kale, swiss chard, parsley, even romaine lettuce or any combination.


Fill the blender to about 3/4 full of greens.


Add about 1 1/2 to 2 cups of water and blend until smooth.


Add 3-4 bananas, 1 tbsp flax meal and 2 tbsp hemp seeds.


Add some fruit here like strawberries, raspberries, peaches or cherries.


This smoothie looks very green, but it tastes like fruit.

Here are some reasons to drink green smoothies and some more delicious combinations to try:
