GREEN SMOOTHIE

 By Mix Plates

We don't know why it took us so long to post one of our favourite breakfasts of all time - "Green Smoothie" as we believe green smoothies are the healthiest fast food for all of us.

 

It's raining here as I'm penning down this caption and sometimes I feel #rain conveys a sense of comfort to me, it makes everything so beautiful, the lush-green sights outside my window inspired me to put some #healthy #green thing-ies into my tummy too..!

The spinach taste gets mild (in-fact you don't get to know its spinach) in the smoothie as it contains fruits. For that extra creaminess add a scoop full of avocado (healthy fats), you may also add peanut butter/ almond butter. So, when your kids are picky in eating green leafy vegetables this smoothie is perfect to make them love it & be the poster boy "POPEYE".

You can make a switch to reusable steel straws since they are easy to carry/clean and environment friendly. We got ours from Amazon (the Bulfyss Store) in case you wish to know.
