Get inspired by these 12+ Healthy Smoothies with vegetables and/or leafy greens to include veggies into every one of your meals. These delicious smoothies are great for breakfast, lunch, snack or workout recovery!
Incorporating smoothies into your daily routine is a fantastic way to ensure you get a daily dose of essential nutrients, vitamins and fiber. Smoothies are also a lot of fun!
To avoid getting into a smoothie rut, I compiled 12+ of the best leafy greens smoothie recipes. This list should keep things interesting in the liquid meal department.
Healthy can be a much debated term with very differing definitions. In our family we don't follow one specific diet. We don't eat exclusively vegan, paleo, or low-carb. However, we try to eat real (non-processed), nutrient-rich food as much as possible.
I think we can all agree, no matter what diet you follow and what you consider healthy, we all can use more vegetables! I love the concept of 'half your plate' - at every meal, half of the plate should consist of fruits and vegetables.
No problem, at least for lunch and dinner. If you are used to a regular Western breakfast however, incorporating vegetables into the first meal of the day may be a challenge. Vegetable smoothie recipes are a perfect solution. You can blend up veggies together with delicious fruit, and you'll never even taste them.
To give you more guidance and inspiration, I collected the best green smoothie recipes from Leelalicious and from fellow food blogger friends.

Interesting list. May I ask if you have any with avocado in it?

Haha, interestingly I didn't include any in this list. Well, technically its a fruit and I didn't have a recipe with avocado + veg or greens. I am sure you can find some awesome avocado smoothies in pinterest though 🙂
