Ingredients for blending the Perfect Green Smoothie

Avocado – My favorite way to add plenty of healthy fats (plus other beneficial nutrients) to my smoothies. Simply peel a ripen avocado, remove its seed and throw it into that blender jar.
Carrot – Carrots have way more nutrients that people tend to know, they are literally a nutritional powerhouse. From B and C vitamins, to healthy fiber and plenty of antioxidants, carrots are great when eaten either raw or cooked. For smoothies we tend to use raw carrots and for this particular recipe I used orange carrots, but you can definitely use any kind you want.
Apple – Make sure to remove its seeds and please do use your favorite kind of apples. For this recipe, I used those light green apples called golden apples.
Frozen Spinach – Smoothies are one of the best ways to include spinach in your daily meals. In case you didn’t know, spinach is literally a nutritional powerhouse by itself and that is the reason why I almost always start my day by adding a bit of raw frozen spinach to my smoothie.
Cucumber – I like using organic cucumbers because I want to make sure that the flesh is free of pesticide residue, and organic cucumbers are as nutritional as you can get.
Red Pepper – Peppers work great in salads, together with cucumbers and tomatoes. But they’re also great in smoothies, first because they have plenty of water and are so easy to blend, but also due to their vitamins, minerals and antioxidants content. For this recipe I used kapia red pepper (those long peppers), but any kind of pepper will of course work perfectly.
Grapefruit – Grapefruits are a delicious source of vitamin C, as well as fiber and lots of different groups of antioxidants. I tend to use grapefruit in many of my smoothies, but I also like cooking with it, serve it for breakfast in raw form or pair it with vegetables, eggs and cheese.
Extra Virgin Coconut Oil – What a great way to include those healthy fats into your daily eating routine! I always use unprocessed organic extra virgin coconut oil that retains that amazing fresh coconut flavor.
Pineapple – Pineapple is sweet and a bit sour, packed with B and C vitamins, fiber and tropical flavors. Use either fresh or frozen.
Fennel – A bit sweet and somehow similar to celery, fennel will certainly add a special sweet-ish flavor to your smoothie.
Ginger Powder – One of the best ways to add a lightly spicy taste (and more nutrients) to your smoothie. Go organic if possible.
Turmeric Powder – Smoothies are a great way to sneak in some raw turmeric, but even turmeric powder works great by adding those real turmeric nutrients. Go organic if possible.
Lemon – I used a slice of organic lemon with skin.
Water – Use enough water to cover the ingredients and a bit more to help your blender mix everything smoothly.
