Green Smoothie Recipe 2021

Okay, I know that green smoothies aren’t for everyone, and that’s fine. Buut they’re something that I’ve been gravitating to a lot recently, and when I was sipping away on one one day while going over my planned content for this month, I realsied there’s been a green smoothie recipe in every Recipe A Day May so far. Well, it seemed wrong to break the tradition, so here’s my 2021 green smoothie recipe. 

This one is very different from ones in years gone by. The first one was a push to tell you that green can still be delicious and sweet, it had mango sorbet in it. After that there was a fruity one with a big focus on healthy fats. Followed by a smoothie bowl with a focus on healthy green goodness.  

The 2021 model is all about healthy fats again, this is the least sweet one so far, but it’s rich and creamy with just enough sweetness for you to forget about the health benefits.  

Over the last couple of years, avocadoes have become a staple ingredient in my smoothie bowls for the creaminess they bring. I say this every time, but I’m saying it again anyway, the avocado is there purely for texture. You cannot taste the avocado in this recipe. I promise.  

And some of you may recall that I went through a real pumpkin seed butter phase last year. Well, that’s back and adding more healthy fats to this recipe.

2021 Green Smoothie Recipe 

A healthy green smoothie recipe to start your day, full of lots of nutrients, as well as being a balanced source of healthy fats and protein. 

I didn’t feel the need to add ice to mine as the majority of the ingredients are chilled, but if you wish to include some, add a little bit more of your milk alternative of choice.  

This recipe is gluten free, dairy free, nut free and vegan. I used vanilla soy milk in mine, but simply switch to another sweetened milk alternative to make this soy free too.
