Green smoothies… Healthy but not always tasty.
This one is not too sweet, but doesn’t taste like spinach either. Flavors are so balanced that my 6 years old daughter drinks a full glass every time I make it. Is there a better test?
It’s also quite flexible, depending on the quantities or fruit/vegetables you have on hands.

For a breakfast smoothie that will keep you full until lunch time, add a small handful of roasted cashews and 1/2 avocado.
Or use cashew milk instead of water (which will also increase creaminess).

Shopping list:

1 banana (ripe)
30g of almond flour (or cashews pieces)
200g of pineapple (fresh or frozen)
1 apple ( green, gala, ambrosia….) or 1 pear
1 large handful of baby spinach
1/4 to 1/3 of a cucumber
1/2 avocado (optional)
the juice of 1 lime, or 2-3 TBSP bottled lime juice

The green smoothie that actually tastes good

My favorite healthy snack for those I'm-not-hungry-but-I-feel-like-eating-a-snack moments.

Or use cashew milk instead of water (which will also increase creaminess).

Notes

Adapt quantities to what you have on hands, but try to keep banana, pineapple, lime, spinach and cucumber. Without them, it won’t taste the same!
Remove apple for a less sweet smoothie.
For a sweeter version, substitute a pear for the apple.
