Green Smoothie Recipe

Swap out your green beer (or at least a few) this weekend for a green smoothie! This recipe is simple and tasty. You can experiment with the veggies and try kale, spinach, arugula or other greens. It’s loaded with vitamins and antioxidants and will give you an energy boost!

 

 

 

  • 1/2 Banana (or you can use 1/2 small container of Greek yogurt)
  • 1 Large Handful Spinach or Kale (about 1.5 cups)
  • 1/4 cup Almond Milk, Orange Juice or Coconut Water
  • 1/2 cup Ice or frozen berries
  • Stevia, Splenda or small amount of Honey (if you want it sweeter)
  • Optional: 1 Scoop Whey Protein Powder (add an additional 1/2 cup water)

Mix together in a blender until smooth (I use my hand blender).

Serve in a pretty glass : )

About Me
Cari Shoemate

Hi! I'm Cari! I'm a fitness star turned Mom of 3 who lives in Houston, TX. Getting fit and healthy is a journey and one I understand well. After graduating from college I worked in a corporate setting for many years and gained a lot of weight and had an unhealthy lifestyle. Finally, after I had enough - I decided to regain my healthy lifestyle that I had in college by fitting in workouts and eating healthier. Eventually, I left my corporate job to become a full-time personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I also created Bombshell Bootcamp over 10 years ago and it has become one of Houston's top bootcamps! My passion then turned into greater opportunities to write workouts for national magazines, appear on tv doing workouts and speaking about healthy and fitness, making fitness DVD's and working with many celebrities. Fast forward a few years....and then I had my first baby! I'm now a Mom of 3 little ones and try to incorporate healthy living and exercise in our family's lives. Not only do I still blog about workouts and fitness, but I have shifted some to include family fitness, family travel, fashion, health/beauty and general lifestyle.
