Everyday Vegan Green Smoothie

This vegan green smoothie is a wonderful way to get some greens in, without comprimising taste.

I know the idea of a spinach in a smoothie may sound gross to some, but it's nearly undetectable when combined with the other flavours. Trust me, it's the perfect way to sneak in more healthy foods with very little effort.

Thanks to other healthy ingredients, this smoothie will keep you satisfied as a meal or snack.

Vegan Green Smoothie Ingredients and Health Benefits

• Coconut yogurt: Though coconut yogurt is high in fat, it has been shown to reduce body fat percentages. Specifically, clinical trials have found that it may play a role in reducing waist circumference.
• Hemp seeds: Hemp seeds are rich in protein, fibre, and fat. In addition to being a wonderful way to boost protein intake, evidence suggests that "compounds in the seeds may have neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, effects and may also help to regulate the immune system."
• Spinach: Spinach is full of good-for-you vitamins and minerals. It's extremely nutritious and is a great source of iron and calcium—perfect for vegans!

How to Customise Your Green Smoothie

While this everyday vegan green smoothie is undeniably wonderful on its own, it's also the perfect canvas to create many tasty variations.

Personally, I like to use this recipe as a starting point, adding whatever ingredients I feel like in the moment.

Want to increase the protein content? Add some chia seeds, protein powder or nut butter.

Craving something more tropical? Add frozen mango and pineapple to the mix.

Want something more decadent? Add cacao powder and peanut butter for a candy-style smoothie.

The blender is your oyster, so add whatever you want to create your own dream smoothie.

What Blender Should You Use For This Smoothie

This smoothie has a fair bit of liquid, so any blender should work.

For this, I used a Nutribullet but any basic blender would do the trick.
