Green Shake – Quick & Easy Nutrition!

Shakes are one of my favorite ways to add lots of nutrition when I have little time!

Green shake typically refers to a beverage made by blending various green vegetables and fruits together.

Common ingredients include spinach, kale, cucumber, celery, green apple, avocado, and sometimes added supplements like protein powder or spirulina, although I personally don’t typically use those.

My shakes vary a bit as far as ingredients go because I simply make them with what I have at hand that day.  It is also a great way to use fruits and vegetables that might be going bad soon!  I hate wasting and shakes are a great way to avoid waste!

These are the ingredients I normally add to my green shake, but get creative and add your own twist to it!

  • Kale
  • Spinach
  • Cucumber
  • Celery
  • Green apple
  • Green pear
  • Parsley
  • Avocado
  • Ginger root – not too much as it might make your shake a bit spicy
  • Banana and frozen pineapple – for sweetness
  • Lemon juice
  • Water

Hope you get inspire to make some green shakes!
