So this smoothie has been my absolute obsession recently. I’ve been drinking this every morning to give me energy and strengthen my immune system during cold season. The best part is that it’s sooooo easy to make and fastest great with just about any tropical fruit or citrus added in!
I’ve been posting it all over my Instagram and Facebook page and it;s gotten great reader feedback. It’s a must try!

Simple Green Smoothie
Serves 1
2 small oranges (or 1 large), peeled
1 frozen banana
1 huge handful of spinach
1/2 cup of ice
Blend blend blend until creamy and smooth.
Don’t like bananas?
Try 1 cup of frozen peaches, pineapple, or mango!
Don’t have a high powered blender?
Try adding some almond milk for a creamsicle flavor, or try pineapple or apple juice for an all alkaline smoothie.

January 19, 2014 at 6:08 pm (11 years ago)Hi Catherine! I just started reading your blog and am LOVING all your recipes! I love smoothies, but I have one question – how do you freeze your bananas? I have tried a couple different ways and always end up with a weirdly-textured or (if I leave the peels on) impossible to peel bananas! Any tips you have would be great! Thanks!!
Catherine
January 19, 2014 at 10:38 pm (11 years ago)Hi Kalee! I’m so happy you found my blog and are loving the recipes! I let my bananas get cheetah spotted and a little brown (because they are at the ripest sweetest point), then I peel them, put them in a ziplock bag and freeze!
