Green smoothies are all the rage! This green smoothie is so easy and super nutritious. It has the perfect amount of sweetness to the perfect amount of greens to make it both healthy and delicious. A win/win!
The spinach in this smoothie provides folic acid, the lemon makes it high in vitamin C and the avocado provides the healthy monounsaturated fat which is very satiating, making this smoothie a great in between meal choice. This smoothie is made with my homemade coconut milk which makes it even more creamy and delicious.
A note about lemons: In general, I try not to peel my fruits and veggies when I make a smoothie or juice. I just give them a good scrubbing. Lemon peels are loaded with bio-flavinoids and will boost the smoothies nutritional content. I only peel lemons if the peel is thick and will make the juice or smoothie too bitter. In that case, I would zest some of the lemon peel into the smoothie and use the peeled lemon. Always peel any conventional produce to reduce pesticide exposure. Enjoy!
