If you have been following this site for a while you know that I’m a lover of green smoothies. Green smoothies are packed with micronutrients, high in fiber and relatively low in calories. You can have a full balanced healthy meal in a glass. The main concern with many green smoothie recipes is the amount of sugar or fructose. Sugar is sugar is  sugar… it is digested and processed the same way regardless of what form you eat or drink it from. Of course the high fiber in most green smoothies slows absorption and aids in a slower release of insulin in your blood stream, but we still need to be mindful of how much fruit over veggies we are blending together. Most of the green smoothies on this site are for beginners and advance, but for those who are ready to take it to the next level I suggest having only one fruit to sweeten your smoothie. In this recipe I chose 2 small apples.

2 cups spinach

2 small apples or 1 large

1 slice of ginger about a tsp.

1/2 cucumber

1 celery stalk

1 tsp. of cinnamon

half serving of raw almonds (12-14 almonds)

1 cup coconut water
