    Just like most of you, it is time for me to focus the new years resolutions I made. Eating healthier is usually one of them, which my favorite 4 Ingredient Green Smoothie recipe helps with.  Plus this smoothie is crazy delicious!!

    Favorite 4 Ingredient Green Smoothie recipe. Make in minutes and so refreshing and good for you too!

    If you are not a green smoothie person, I think this simple recipe will win you over. Pinky swear!! I waited years and years before I got over my mental paralysis at just the thought of a sip of a green smoothie.

    Once I finally gave them a chance (thanks to my teen daughter), I became obsessed. This recipe is so fresh and vibrant. It is a boost both mentally and physically for me every time I make it.

    Ingredients

    • 1 Apple (leave skin on) I like Honeycrisp (use whichever apple you enjoy)
    • Big handful of spinach (about 3 ounces)
    • 1 banana (the more ripe the banana sweeter it will be)
    • 1 heaping cup frozen mango (see notes)
    ingredients to make green smoothie

    Variations

    • Swap arugula or watercress for the spinach (both great nutrients)
    • Add in fresh or frozen pineapple
    • For a hint of spice and additional health benefits add a little fresh ginger
    • Add in a squeeze of lemon or lime 
    • If you want it sweeter, add in a drizzle of honey
    • Swap water for coconut water
    • Try this Green Apple Cucumber Smoothie for another flavor.

    This super easy 4 Ingredient Green Smoothie can be made in minutes!

    I make it at least 4 times a week, typically for my first meal of the day or for a snack. When I crave something sweet in the evening like candy.

    THIS satisfies my craving and bonus it gives me nutrients and antioxidants that a candy bar can't. I DO love candy but a gal's gotta be somewhat disciplined, lol!

    Favorite 4 Ingredient Green Smoothie Recipe. Tastes so good!

    Tips

    • Stay close to the recipe or follow the variation suggestions above. This is SO fresh and bright tasting, if you go adding milk of some sort or dark fruits etc, it may be good however it just won't be this.
    • I am all about experimenting. However, if you want a green smoothie that is easy to make with a consistency that I think you will enjoy with the boost of nutrients and antioxidants found on these ingredients, this is it! Bet your kids will enjoy this as well.

    And nope! You do not taste spinach at all when you enjoy this. 

    Hope you love this smoothie recipe as much as my family and I do!

    If you are looking to kick off a few weeks (or more) of healthy eating or a detox, check out my Tomato Detox Soup. It's a favorite of many! I always use this soup to drop 5-7 pounds when I need to.

    Incredibly delicious Homemade Detoc Soup - This soup was the cornerstone of a 2 week detox for me and a loss of 11 pounds.

    Or my Pumpkin Detox Soup, its bursting with health benefits! AND you may be very surprised at how delicious it is.

    Equipment

    • Blender

    Ingredients
      

    • 3 oz fresh spinach (one BIG handful)
    • 1 apple cut into chunks
    • ½ cup frozen mango heaping cup full
    • 1 banana
    • ¾ cup ice water (or ice cold coconut water)

    Notes

    Use frozen mango. First, it helps make the smoothie cold and second, I feel you get more from a bag of frozen mango vs buying fresh ones. Less waste IMO.
    You can swap ice cold coconut water for plain water if you enjoy that. 
    I like using ice cold water vs ice in this. It gives the best consistency that you in my opinion.
    Blenders vary, so if yours is being stubborn, use a spatula or muddler to mash the ingredients down a few times as you blend (while motor is off).
