Adding mild greens, such as spinach, is a great way to add extra nutrients to any of these healthy smoothie recipes. Green smoothies are packed with vitamins and minerals that elevate your health.
I’ve provided options for natural sweeteners like Medjool dates and maple syrup as both offer vitamins and nutrients. These natural sweeteners fit into a well-balanced diet, especially when consumed with healthy fats and proteins. But it’s also important to eat them in moderation, especially when trying to lose weight.
Experiment with flavors you love; you never know what your favorite smoothie ingredients and combinations might be until you try it. :)
