Orange juice, green grapes, a banana and a generous handful of spinach combine to make our Favorite Green Smoothie. This is the easiest (and quite possibly the tastiest) green smoothie we make.
If you are new to green smoothies, this is the place to start. This was the first green smoothie that I tried and my whole family has loved it from the start.
For over four years now, this has been our go-to green smoothie. My kids all love it and this is easily the most frequently made smoothie in our home. I PROMISE that you can not taste the “green” in this green smoothie. My four year old has been requesting this smoothie since he was 18 months old, pulling the spinach out of the fridge and setting it next to the blender pitcher.
If you are looking for more smoothie inspiration, check out this collection of 50 Healthy and Delicious Smoothie Recipes or view all of the smoothie recipes here on the blog. I may not share the recipes as frequently as I did when we first started the blog, but my kids are still every bit as much in love with their breakfast, lunch, or snack smoothies.
If you’re looking for more healthy breakfast ideas, these Breakfast Casserole Muffin Cups and these 2 Ingredient Pancakes are great options. Banana Breakfast Bars and Egg White Delight Sandwiches are terrific make ahead breakfasts that can be stashed in the freezer for the busiest of mornings.
