This sweet and refreshing silky green smoothie is packed with nutrients that’s sure to make your skin glow and give you that extra boost of energy!

I started drinking smoothies over 10 years ago as a way to boost my energy and get in more vital nutrients throughout my day. As a busy artist and student I needed all the energy I could get.

I bought myself a blender and mostly started out with mixing fruits with the Garden of Eden Vanilla protein powder. Then slowly I began adding greens to my smoothie for the extra vitamins and minerals. Immediately I started to notice the my digestion improved and my energy was so much better than when I used to stop off at dunkin donuts for a bagel and some sugary drink.

Ever since then let’s just say that smoothies are such a staple part of my weekly meal plans and diet that I couldn’t imagine going more than 2 days without one. My body literally craves the nutrients they provide and I always feel full and refreshed after consuming them.

When I first started adding greens I started out with spinach which made my smoothie green, but honestly I couldn’t taste it. Which was great because I knew that if I tasted it to begin with I don’t think I would’ve continued the green smoothie trend.

Then following that I started adding romaine lettuce and finally dinosaur kale to my smoothies. And if you’re a newbie to smoothies I say ease in with spinach and lettuce first before you go to the darker leafy greens like kale and chard. Because boy do they have strong flavors and if you aren’t used to slurping down your greens like that it can take a little getting used to.

But eventually when you start consuming smoothies regularly you’ll start to crave these types of ingredients in your smoothie and the taste of the greens won’t bother you at all. You might even come to appreciate them!
