I know I know, green smoothies… ugh. But just listen, because I promise this one will change your damn world.
You probably (like me) had that one green smoothie in the past that just ruined them for you… that was my experience at least. Maybe you paid $15 for a green smoothie that you thought was just going to be the magical answer to any of your problems. You’d get your greens in, they’d be tasty, and you’d never had to look for another smoothie again. But alas, at first sip of that fifteen dollar smoothie, you just couldn’t stand to drink any more of it because, well, it tasted like grass with a hint of dirt mixed in there too. But what if i told you – no, what if I promised you, that your green smoothies don’t have to taste like grass, you can make them for much cheaper than $15 a glass, and they actually taste amazing?
This green smoothie has been my go-to for months, and for a few good reasons! For starters, it tastes like mint chocolate chip with a healthy twist. Second, it’s smooth and not chunky or icy like some other green “smoothies”. And third, but most importantly, IT DOESN’T TASTE LIKE GRASS. I just cannot harp on that point enough. SO many green smoothies out there are healthy, yes, but gosh do they taste awful… that’s just not worth it for me! So, I present to you, the best tasting (and best for you) green smoothie. 🙂
