Good morning green smoothie
A green smoothie so good, you won’t believe all the nutrition it’s packing.
About the recipe
When you have kids, you come up with all sorts of ideas to ensure their growing bodies are getting enough greens. That is exactly how I came up with this green smoothie. The pineapple, banana and pear make it plenty sweet, so they won’t know that I snuck celery, cucumber, kale and ginger in there.
Celery and ginger are anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral; kale boosts digestive health, containing fiber, antioxidants, calcium and vitamin C; cucumber promotes hydration, may lower blood sugar and is low in calories. What’s not to love?
Serves 2.
