    HOW TO MAKE A

    PERFECT GREEN
    SMOOTHIE

    2.) BLEND IN STAGES TO AVOID LEAFY CHUNKS.


    Chewing your green smoothie is no fun! To get a
    smooth green smoothie experience, blend up your
    leafy greens and liquid-base first. Then add your
    remaining fruits and blend again.

    3.) DITCH THE ICE AND FREEZE SOME FRUITS.


    Want yourgreen smoothieto be extra chilly? Freeze
    your favorite fruits like ripe bananas (peel first),
    grapes, pineapple or berries. This is also a great way to
    not waste ripe fruits (like those brown bananas on your
    counter). You can also freeze your leafy greens in a
    freezer-safe bag. Just make sure to add your frozen
    greens straight to the blender (dont defrost these
    fragile lil guys).

    4.) USE RAW NATURAL SWEETENERS.


    Add naturally sweet fruits to any smoothie that tastes
    bitter or a bit too green. By sticking with naturally
    sweet fruits like bananas, mango, apples, pears or
    pitted dates, we avoid artificial sweeteners and
    processed sugars.

    5.) MAKE SMOOTHIES AHEAD FOR THE PERFECT


    FAST FOOD.
    We know life can get crazy busy especially in the
    morning. Thats why we think green smoothies are the
    healthiest fast food for people who are constantly on
    the go. You can blend your green smoothie the night
    before and store it in your fridge (up to 2 days). Use an
    airtight lid to limit oxidation and keep it as fresh as
    possible. When ready to drink, give it a good shake

    BEGINNERS LUCK GREEN

    SERVES:2

    This tropical treat has the perfect fruit-to-veggie ratio,


    which makes it a great beginner-friendly green
    smoothie. The spinach has a mild taste and is packed
    with over 20 different nutrients, vitamins, minerals,
    antioxidants and high-quality amino acids. Its
    rawesome stuff! Oh, and this recipe is kid-tested and
    approved too:)
    INGREDIENTS
    2 cups fresh spinach
    2 cups water
    1 cup mango
    1 cup pineapple
    2 bananas
    Use at least one frozen fruit to chill your smoothie. We
    often use frozen mangos and bananas in our green
    smoothies.
    INSTRUCTIONS
    Tightly pack 2 cups of leafy greens in a measuring cup
    and then toss into blender.
    Add water and blend together until all leafy chunks are

    until smooth.
    Pour into a mason jar (or cute cup of your choice).

    TASTY SMOOTHIES

    INGREDIENTS
    1.5 cups plain organic yogurt
    1 cup berries, fresh or frozen (or we have tried 2
    oranges, peeled)
    2 bananas (or 1 2 tablespoons of honey if you
    dont like bananas)
    2 tablespoons milk
    - cup fresh spinach leaves (I also tried adding
    some leftover broccoli instead of the spinach. My
    husband said I took things a little too far, but the
    kids still sucked it down!)
    Optional: if using fresh berries (instead of frozen)
    add some ice cubes
    INSTRUCTIONS
    Combine all ingredients into blender and blend.
    Pour into cups and garnish with fruit or use fun
    straws to entice your kids!

    away the outer rind. Cut the melon into chunks, and
