It’s been a long time since I posted a green smoothie recipe. Maybe it’s because of the terrible weather we’ve been having on the East Coast because all I want to eat is comfort food like roast chicken and potatoes…nothing wrong with that! But to lighten up my winter blues, a healthy green smoothie will do the trick!

Kale Green Smoothie with Grapefruit and Bananas
It’s been a while since my last green smoothie post. Kale is one of my favorite ingredients in a green smoothie because it’s packed with vitamins and fiber, and lowers your blood sugar, promotes regular digestion and curbs overeating.

Celery Green Smoothie with Mango, Banana and Goji Berries
If you haven’t had goji berries before, they are a great snack and also work really well in smoothies. They’re sweet, healthy and rich in antioxidants and Vitamin A. Make sure you soak the goji berries in water before blending. This will plump them up, release their juices and allows for easy blending. I mixed in some celery, bananas and mango chunks, resulting in a bright orange color, similar to my vegan goji berry shake. You can find goji berries at most health food stores, Whole Foods or on Amazon.
