20+ Tasty Green Smoothie Recipes

I have gathered up over 20 of the best, most delicious, healthiest green smoothie recipes from some of my favorite food bloggers for you all...

  

Personally, I am a huge fan of green smoothies. I love that I can get in most of daily servings of fruits & veggies in just one creamy smoothie. 

I do have just one tip to share with you all for blending one up minus the chunks of leafy greens- tear the leaves of your greens & place them the blender with the liquid for your smoothie first. Puree that on high until it looks like you have a green juice in your blender. 

Then add in your additional ingredients. Want a little extra boost of nutritional goodness? Add in a tablespoon or two of chia seeds.  

So, I have to know... After this week's Green Smoothie Week on the blog, are you all sold on green smoothies yet?

Have you tried any of the green smoothie recipes I have shared this week?  

And most importantly, are you hooked on the green smoothie craze now?

If so, then you are hitting the green frozen goodness mother load today, folks! :)

Because I have gathered up over 20 of the best, most delicious, healthiest green smoothie recipes from some of my favorite food bloggers for you all...

Oatmeal "Raisin" Cookie Green Smoothie

Sneak extra leafy greens and healthy fruit into your daily diet with a creamy, low fat green smoothie that tastes just like one of your favorite baked treats...

I have a sweet tooth.  There is no question about that.

And sweets have always been my weakness when it comes to healthy snacking.

So, I went on a mission to create a few smoothie recipes that taste like some of my favorite sweet treats. 

The idea for this Oatmeal "Raisin" Cookie Green Smoothie came to me after I had tried a sip of my daughter's prune juice.  The first thing that came to mind was how much it tasted like raisins to me.  Hmmmmm... raisins. How could I use this prune juice in a green smoothie?

Honestly, I am not a huge fan of raisins, but I do like a good oatmeal raisin cookie... so the wheels started spinning and this Oatmeal "Raisin" Cookie Green Smoothie was concocted and taste-tested. 

And yum! :)
