There’s really no bad time to have a smoothie. Not only are smoothies delicious, but they’re also easy to prep and take on the go, totally customizable, and a great way to sneak in some extra veggies. Adding vegetables is a dietitian-recommended way to make your smoothie extra healthy, as it helps to boost your fiber intake, ensure you get vital micronutrients, and get you closer to the United States Department of Agriculture’s recommended 2.5 to four servings of veggies per day. While you can add any number of veg to your concoction, we’re partial to the green ones. (For the nutrients, sure, but also for the color.) Leafy greens are particularly easy to blend and are rich in dietary fiber, folate, vitamin K, and protective phytochemicals such as beta-carotene flavonoids, according to research. But you can also think beyond spinach and kale: cucumber, broccoli, and even avocado can add more nutrients and texture to your green smoothie. To help inspire your next green smoothie, we’ve rounded up some of the best recipes from bloggers, experts, and POPSUGAR editors. These green smoothie recipes put green veggies first — and the best part is, none of them taste like there’s a single piece of produce in the glass. Sweet Potato Mango Smoothie Image Source: Lindsey Johnson For Simple Green Smoothies The combo of mango, spinach, and sweet potato may seem odd, but let us tell you: this sweet potato mango smoothie is delicious. You also get more good-for-you nutrients in this green smoothie than we can count: vitamin C, fiber, and iron are just a few. 1 / 15 Peanut Butter Green Smoothie This peanut butter green smoothie recipe is packed with healthy fats from peanut butter, nutritious leafy greens, and a touch of sweetness from banana.

The base is simple, with bananas, strawberries, spinach, and the liquid of your choice (try kombucha, fruit juice, or milk). The recipe creator also shares add-on ideas (like spirulina, chia seeds, or flax) in case you want to load up this strawberry banana green smoothie with even more nutritious goodness. 4 / 15 2-Minute Green Smoothie The genius behind this two-minute green smoothie is prepping everything ahead of time, packing it into a bag, and tossing it into your freezer.
