3. Vegetables are easy on the digestive system: Blending up leafy greens makes it easier for the body to absorb their nutrients.
4. You don’t have to worry about prep time or clean up: Smoothies are super quick and easy to whip up – no chopping or cooking required! Just toss everything in the blender and give them a whiz. The cleaning up is also just as simple.

What to Put in A Green Smoothie?

There are countless ways to combine ingredients for a green smoothie.

Most commonly, you'll get your hands on some of the items listed below, so let's discover their flavor. Feel free to experiment with different types and combinations of fruits and vegetables to find what works best for you and tastes delicious.

1. Vegetables:

• Kale: for a somewhat bitter and earthy taste.
• Spinach: mild flavor.
• Celery: slightly sweet and salty with a crunchy texture.
• Cucumber: cooling, refreshing, watery, and since it's very bland in taste, cucumber is mostly used to tone down other tangy or robust elements in your drink.
• Bell peppers: slightly sweet and tinged with bitterness.
• Cabbage and lettuce: mildly sweet and earthy with slightly peppery notes.

2. Fruits:

• Apple – mildly sweet and tart.
• Mango: brightly sweet and juicy — perfect for a tropical and summer vibe.
• Pineapple: intensely sweet-tart and mildly sour (depending on the variety you get). 
• Avocado: buttery, rich, and creamy texture with a nutty flavor.
• Banana: super sweet and creamy. Bananas and avocados are usually the best choices to lend your drinks a thick or slushy body.
• Berries (strawberries, raspberries): naturally sweet, slightly tart, and very juicy.
• Citrus (oranges, lemons, limes): bright and acidic — they're the best to counter the creamy or overly sweet items.

3. Seeds and nuts:

To increase the satiety of your smoothie, incorporate healthy fats from nuts and seeds like almonds, cashews, walnuts, macadamia nuts, hemp seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, etc.

Not only can these ingredients add a mild, nutty flavor, but they can also add some extra crunch or act as a thickening agent (in case things get too watery).

4. Liquid:

Other than cow's milk, many types of non-dairy milk can be used to make green smoothies. Some of the most popular options include almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk, soy milk, and hemp milk.

For extra protein, you can also try adding Greek yogurt to your green smoothie to turn it into a nutritious post-workout treat.

5. Sweeteners:

If you don't like it overly sweet, try switching out sugar for other sweeteners like honey and maple syrup for a milder taste. A few drops of vanilla extract can also add an extra flavor boost and a sweet aroma for your drink.
