Notes

  • If you have leftover smoothie, place it in a popsicle mold and freeze. Then you or the kids can enjoy them later as a popsicle. This is my favorite way to never waste a smoothie.
  • Feel free to add things that you like like a little sweetener if needed and/or "super foods" like a few teaspoons of any of the following: chia seeds, hemp seeds, flax meal, etc.
  • The nutrition information reflected on this recipe card is for the Extra Green Smoothie.
