Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 1 mandarin (peeled)
  • 1/2 big avocado (skin and seed removed)
  • 1/2 stick celery
  • 2 big carrots
  • 150-200 g frozen spinach
  • 1 banana (peeled)
  • 1/2 grapefruit (peeled)
  • 2 tsp extra virgin coconut oil
  • 1 slice fennel
  • pinch of Himalayan salt
  • water (cover the ingredients)

Instructions

  • Add everything into your blender. Add enough water to level everything.
  • Blend on medium to high until everything looks creamy.
  • Serve fresh or store in the fridge for 2-3 days.

Notes

Use enough water to level the ingredients and a bit more. Feel free to add more water if your blender is having trouble pureeing the ingredients.
Another trick that I use to blend any smoothie to perfection is to use the pulse function a few times, followed by switching from medium to high speed alternatively for 10 seconds each.

  • Color: green with a yellow tint
  • Texture: perfectly blended, very smooth and creamy
  • Taste: perfect green smoothie taste with an intense aroma. It’s sweet (banana + fennel) and a bit bitter (grapefruit) with a bit of spinach aftertaste.

What makes this smoothie awesome?

It’s one of those perfect smoothies that makes you appreciate life to a whole new level. We’re talking lots of beneficial nutrients, a perfectly blended creamy texture, and a sweet taste (banana and fennel) with a light grapefruit aroma (and maybe a bit of spinach in there).

From just one serving you’ll get enough vitamins, minerals, healthy fiber, enzymes and phytonutrients to fuel your entire day.

But that’s not all because this perfect green smoothie is also low in carbs and high in good fats, which makes it absolutely perfect for the keto way of eating.

This low-carb green smoothie will help you stay in the fat burning zone by supporting your entire system to burn fat for energy (instead of the regular carbs which are almost always too high in “regular” smoothies).

All in all, I’m really grateful to be able to share with you such a nourishing smoothie, and I hope you’ll love it too. I give it a 5-star rating in my book … After all, it’s not called Green Smoothie Rocket for nothing!

Share this green smoothie rocket with someone you love! And if you like it, don’t forget to @refreshmyhealth on Social Media. I’d also appreciate a rating and a review, if you try this recipe.
