This is the best green smoothie recipe! It is a must try. The flavors all compliment each other to bring about a creamy, nutty, perfectly sweet (but not too sweet) taste.

How to make the BEST Green Smoothie

Here are my two cents on creating the BEST green smoothie experience.

Expert Tips
  • Use ripe fruit. For optimal flavor, your fruit should be ripe. You can buy frozen bananas from the grocery store that are good to go, but make sure you give your pear a few days to ripen after you purchase it.
  • Freeze your ingredients. You can prep this smoothie ahead of time and have all of your ingredients together, frozen. The one exception is almond milk. You'll want to add that when you are blending.
  • Prep. I realize I just touched on that above, but spend a few minutes prepping this smoothie and making a week's worth of pre-measured cups for your freezer. It'll make your mornings easier!
  • Use a high powered blender. Greens, especially Kale, are hard to blend up unless you have a high powered smoothie. Blendtec and Vitamix both work well. We'll link to both of those below.
