If you are not great fan of green smoothies, well it's time to reconsider it. Try out these beginner's friendly green smoothie recipes at home and you will start loving it.

Beginners Green Smoothie

If you are a beginner with green smoothies, then you can try this one. Here we use apple as the main ingredient as apple flavor has the tendency to blend well with spinach and veggies. The taste of this green smoothie won't repel you at all as the spinach flavor will be completely masked in the smoothie.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup apple juice
  • 1 cup spinach (packed)

Servings: 1

Directions
  1. First blend spinach with apple juice in the blender.
  2. Then add the rest of the ingredients to the blender and puree into a smooth consistency.
  3. Try to blend in stages when making green smoothies. Unless you have a powerful smoothie blender, you will end up with grainy smoothie if you toss all the ingredients at once to the blender and grind.
  4. Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy.

You will be amazed to taste the creaminess of this smoothie even though we don't use any dairy products, thanks to the avocado. Add extra ice cubes while blending to make an ice cold smoothie drink.
