We all have that one health-conscious friend who raves about protein smoothies and kale all the live long day, and I’m sure we’ve all had a moment of disgust when we see a green smoothie packed full of vegetables. Surely that can’t taste good, can it?
Well, I took one for the team and tried it for myself, and honestly? It tastes good. You can’t taste any veggies, it’s purely fruit. I promise!
Ingredients Serves 2
- A handful of Spinach
- A quarter of a cucumber (approximately)
- 1 large Banana
- 1 Granny Smith Apple
- 1 Kiwi
- 50ml Water
- Juice of ½ a lemon
- Raspberries (for garnish)
- Gather up all of your ingredients and chop them up into small pieces.
- Add the water and lemon juice to the bottom of your smoothie maker to help with the blending process. Load up your fruit and veggies into the jug.
- Blend for 10-15 seconds, or until well mixed.
- Pour into two glasses and garnish with a couple of raspberries, enjoy!
Wow, that sounds delicious! I love the combination you made, I will have to try this at home! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
I love the ideas like this! I try to eat every day an avocado!
I make a smoothie with avocado with almond milk! 😉
I usually put avocado in my smoothies too!
There is one green smoothie I love and that is the Naked Green smoothie which tastes surprisingly good! I think it uses similar ingredients to yours.
Yes! That’s kind of what I based this one on, I love that smoothie 🙂
I absolutely love smoothies and this one is totally packed with goodness! Thanks for sharing the recipe :))
Thank you!
Now this would be an awesome smoothie to start making now and then. I like that it has some leafy greens and the flavors actually sound great.
yes!!!! I have been looking for a good green smoothie recipe!! I am so excited i found a good one! Thanks so much!
Thank you!
I love experimenting on mixing vegetables and fruits. You had a good blend here! Smoothies are just perfect for summer.
Thank you they are!
This is everything you need when you’re in hurry to get out of the house during the morning. I’m sure you’ll be filled with energy after drinking this. I love green smoothies, this is a nice addition to my recipes!
It’s a great replacement for breakfast if you just don’t have enough time!

Great!
Looks so yummy !! I love drinking green smoothies and spinach and avocado are my best friends in the kitchen :))))
me too! Thank you 🙂
This smoothie sounds so good and delectable. I don`t think I would want to include the cucumber though. I don`t really like to eat cucumbers.

that’s fair enough, although you can’t taste it at all- it’s mostly to add some moisture to it
My reaction has always been like you described in the beginning, but I have those ingredients and I just might try it before the month is over. Thanks for the motivation. Need to lose 10 lbs!!
Just go for it! I used to hate the thought of veg in a smoothie but honestly you can’t even taste it!
I love smoothies espcially to beat the heat. Would definitely try this one out. Seems tempting.
This looks so healthy and nutritious. I love juicing so will give this one a go! xxx
So healthy and easy. I really need to get my act together and make more smoothies.
