Dawn's Fave Green Smoothie Recipe

1/1/2016

I've looked high and low for a nutritionist-approved green smoothie recipe that tastes good and is low-glycemic (so it won't raise insulin levels and promote belly-fat like many smoothies can if you're not careful with the ingredients).

I haven't found one I love as much as this basic, healthy green smoothie, so I thought I'd share it with you.  If you have a Vitamix or other high-powered blender, you can throw in everything including the peels on the cucumber, lemon, apple etc. (though not the avocado!). If you have a standard blender I'd recommend peeling them. 

Ingredients:
½ medium apple, cored
1 celery stalk
Approx 2 inches of a medium-sized cucumber
Approx 1 inch of ginger root (to taste)
1/3 of a lemon (to taste)
1/2 of a medium avocado, peeled
1-3 cups of baby spinach or baby greens (kale, chard, etc.)
Approx 1 ½ cup water
Protein powder: collagen, pea or hemp protein**
A handful of ice if desired
 
Blend ingredients together until smooth. Drink immediately after blending. Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for about a day, though I'd recommend re-blending before drinking.

Optional additions/substitutions: chia seeds, hemp seeds, freshly ground flax seeds (increase liquid if using these seeds) unsweetened almond milk instead of water, 1 TBSP almond butter, ¾  cup frozen peaches, fresh mint instead of ginger. Please post your ideas below!
 
**Get in touch for protein powder recommendations!

P.S. f you're committed to reclaiming health and vitality in 2016, consider Real-Food Detox, beginning Feb. 2 in San Ramon. :-)

What Our Clients are Saying

"I have struggled with digestive issues for decades. I've been through many different diets and practitioners, and Dawn is the first person to truly listen to me and not try to push a solution that seems like a catch-all for lots of people."

"I was exhausted. I had lost vitality and interest in things that used to bring me joy. My digestion was a mess and constant struggle. Dawn offered warmth, compassion and genuine empathy that is unmatched by anyone. After working with Dawn, I was a new person. My energy had returned, my digestion was back on track and most importantly, I had answers and tangible solutions for the issues that had been burdening me for so long."
