My last green smoothie post with romaine and coconut milk, was about 2 months ago so I think it’s about time for a new recipe. This green smoothie is refreshing and best enjoyed cold, perfect for the warmer weather. Swiss chard is the main ingredient and you can use any kind of chard, the taste should make no difference. Half of a fresh lime goes into this recipe, including the peel, so finely chop it if you don’t have a powerful blender. The flavor is bright and tangy from the lime, yet very smooth and creamy from the bananas. This particular smoothie is great for the adventurous type and a definite must try for green smoothie lovers!

I bought a bunch of swiss chard and searched recipes for a green smoothie using that green. Your recipe really intrigued me and I happened to have one lime left in my fridge. Well, I rarely write comments but I had to let your readers know how delectable this smoothie is! It made me feel like I was sitting poolside with a tropical fun adult drink. Great combination of flavors and soo refreshing – thanks for sharing!
Hi Marcia – The flavors in this green smoothie are quite different than others, but in a good way! I love how incredibly refreshing it is as well 🙂 Thanks so much for your comment and hope to see you again soon!
Wow, that smoothie presentation looks great (shotglass?) However, I’m curious why did you decide the leave the chard stems out? Color?
Thanks! I left out the stems because I wanted a smoother consistency, but feel free to leave them in.
