About Green Goddess Smoothie
Green Goddess Smoothie is a tropical green smoothie that is naturally sweet and loaded with fresh fruits and veggies.
It comes together in 5 minutes and can be served as a light breakfast or snack.
This creamy smoothie has no refined sugar or dairy, and if you are concerned about the taste, let me confirm that it doesn’t taste like you’re drinking veggies.
Apples, bananas, and pineapples add a natural sweetness that perfectly balances the slightly bitter, veggie-like flavors of spinach and avocado.
Ingredients
Fruits – This smoothie is loaded with bananas, pineapple, and apples. I used red apples (Gala), but you can also use green apples (Granny Smith).
Bananas and pineapples are frozen in advance to give the smoothie a thick, creamy texture. The combination of these three fruits adds the perfect amount of sweetness and tartness.
You can add other fruits, such as mango, pear, peach, or strawberries, to this smoothie.
Veggies – I add spinach, avocado, and celery to this delicious green goddess smoothie recipe. Use baby spinach, as it is less bitter than regular spinach. You can use fresh or frozen spinach.
You can also add cucumber, carrots, kale, and ginger to this smoothie.
Almond Milk – Add unsweetened almond milk or other plant-based milk, such as coconut milk, oat milk, or soy milk, to thin the smoothie. Dairy milk will also work fine if you are not a vegan.
You can also replace the milk with coconut water, apple juice, plain water, orange juice, or kefir.
Others – I also added ground turmeric, chia seeds, and lime juice.
If you need a sweetener in your smoothie, a little honey (not vegan), maple syrup, or peanut butter will do the trick.
You can also add flax seeds, hemp seeds, and almond butter to this green drink.
How To Make Green Goddess Smoothie
Place the following ingredients in a high-powered blender and blend until well combined.
- 2 and ½ cups of chilled almond milk
- 1 red apple (peeled, cored, and chopped)
- 1 large frozen banana
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ stalk of celery (chopped)
- 1 and ½ cups (packed) baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 avocado (peeled and de-seeded)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
If necessary, add more almond milk to thin the smoothie.
Check for sweetness and add a sweetener if you like your smoothie sweeter.
Pour it into serving glasses, add a few ice cubes (optional), and serve.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this green goddess tropical smoothie for breakfast, snack, or dessert.
Add more milk if the smoothie is too thick for your liking.
Skip adding milk and make a thick smoothie. Serve it as a smoothie bowl topped with your favorite toppings.
Storage Suggestions
Like any other smoothie, this tropical green smoothie tastes the best when served fresh!
Leftovers can be stored in a mason jar or a covered glass jar for about a day in the refrigerator. Shake well before serving again.
