Green Smoothie Recipes: 11 Healthy Drinks Made With Fruits And Veggies

11 Green Smoothies That Will Make Breakfast 10 Times Better

If you get queasy at the sight of people drinking green smoothies, we're so sorry, but we're about to convert you to the green side.

Not only are green smoothies high in nutrients, vitamins and fibre, they can also make any vegetable you probably don't like (be it kale, spinach or broccoli) taste great. The secret behind blending the perfect smoothie is using sweet fruits or even seeds to give your drink a unique taste.

There's a reason why kale and spinach seem to be the main ingredients in almost every green smoothie. Not only do they give smoothies their verdant colour, they are also packed with calcium, protein and iron. Talk about your super vegetables.

And while these smoothies below pretty much all look the same, we promise you each one is unique in ingredients. And pro tip: all you need to do is blend.
