Superfood Green Smoothie

The combination of kale and avocado makes this healthy smoothie recipe extra green.

Recipe Summary Superfood Green Smoothie

The deliciousness of this smoothie disguises the fact that it contains 6 superfoods--yogurt, spinach, kale, flaxseed, blueberries, and green tea! Serve immediately or store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one day.

Ingredients | Healthy Green Smoothie Recipes For Diabetics

1 cup spinach leaves

1 cup shredded kale

½ pear, cut into chunks

½ large ripe banana, sliced

½ cup frozen blueberries

⅓ cup plain yogurt

4 ice cubes

2 tablespoons ground flax seeds

½ cup brewed green tea, chilled, or more to taste

Directions

Combine spinach, kale, pear, banana, blueberries, yogurt, ice cubes, and ground flax seeds in a blender; pour in tea. Blend on high until mixture is smooth. Mix with a wooden spoon to redistribute ingredients if needed.

I adapted a traditional spinach-and-banana green smoothie to contain more super-healthy ingredients; you really can't taste the spinach, kale, or flaxseed in this smoothie! If you don't like or don't have kale, you can just use two cups of spinach (although you really can't taste the kale). Likewise, the flax seed is optional if you don't have it. You can also use ice water instead of green tea if desired; I just use green tea for the added antioxidant benefits.

Greek yogurt can be substituted for traditional if desired.
