I love smoothies. LOVE. However, I have always struggled at making them myself. So, for the past few years, I have gotten practically all of my smoothies from Tropical Smoothie Café. My favorite smoothie has been Island Green, which I was originally extremely skeptical to purchase. Even though the smoothie has kale AND spinach in it, I couldn't tell at all! Once I learned that TSC used a ton of sugar in their smoothies, I was extremely inspired to make my own at home, because smoothies are actually really easy to make (and are really good for you). You really do not need to add any sugar at all, if you use enough naturally sweet fresh or frozen fruits! Smoothies are an easy vegetarian snack or a great way to stay healthy at breakfast.
Here is my first original green smoothie!
With this smoothie, I used:
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup kale- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 cup pineapple
- 1 cup apple
- 1/2 cup mango
- 1 cup ice
- 2 frozen strawberries (for extra chill)
However, feel free to use whatever you have at home! Use this for a guideline:
Let me know if you have any favorite smoothie recipes, or any great vegetarian recipes in general.
Happy (almost) summer (to me!)
XOXOXO,
Kelsey
