What better way to kick off spring than with a delicious and nutritious green smoothie?! Here are 3 things I love about green smoothies:

  1. Nutrient-dense. Getting the recommended 3 servings of vegetables per day can be difficult. Green smoothies are a great way to sneak in some of those nutrient-dense veggies! Dark leafy greens are full of folate, vitamin K, iron, and calcium.

  3. On the go. If you have busy mornings, breakfast is easy to overlook. That’s why green smoothies are the perfect solution; nutritious, quick to prepare, and easy to take out the door! For an even quicker start to your morning, try portioning out your smoothie ingredients the night before.

Perfect template for a balanced green smoothie:

1 cup greens + ½ cup fruit + ½ cup liquid + source of protein and fat (think Greek yogurt, milk, nut butters, or seeds)
