Green Machine Smoothie
This easy, healthy Green Machine Smoothie is a great way to start the day. Especially if you've worked ahead and make a few freezer smoothie packs. Simply blend up your powerhouse ingredients and be charged up for a great day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened plain almond milk
- 1/4 cup orange juice (sub: coconut water)
- 1/2 large avocado, chopped (preferably frozen for great smoothie texture)
- 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1 cup chopped kale
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (sub: favorite raw nuts)
- Optional: 1-2 scoops unsweetened protein powder (I like Vital Proteins brand.)
Instructions
- Start by adding 1 cup almond milk and 1/4 cup orange juice to a high-powered blender. Then, add all the other ingredients.
- Blend until smooth. You may need to stop and stir/shake the blender or add up to 1/4 cup more orange juice, as needed, to make sure it gets smooth.
Freezer Instructions
Make Freezer Smoothie Packs for Later: Layer these ingredients in small freezer bags in the following order and then seal tightly, squeezing out the air, and freeze for up to 3 months.
- 1/2 large avocado, chopped
- 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1 cup chopped kale
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (sub: favorite raw nuts)
- Optional: 1-2 scoops protein powder
Notes/Tips
- Check out all 7 smoothie packs and download a recipe cheat sheet and shopping list.
- If you'd like to add in more protein, feel free to add in a sugar-free, unflavored protein powder or collagen powder. I like Vital Protein Collagen Peptides. You may need to add a little more liquid.
