Sweet Sunday Veggies Smoothie

This Sweet Sunday Veggies Smoothie is the perfect companion to enjoy for breakfast or as a mid-day smoothie-snack. It’s a little bit sweet and a little bit bitter at the same time, has a nice creamy texture, and comes packed with plenty of those “good-for-you” nutrients.

Made with avocado, spinach, carrots, cucumber, fennel, leeks, beetroot, apples, grapefruit or extra virgin coconut oil … This smoothie is definitely one that stands out from the crowd. It can be a great way to start your day or the perfect excuse to enjoy a delicious and super healthy smoothie-snack.

Vitamins, minerals, raw enzymes, phytonutrients or healthy fiber, all of these are just one blend away. You’ll also get plenty of healthy fats from avocado and coconut oil, while keeping the sugar level quite low by using only a few fruits and no added sweetener. After all, this is one of those low-carb high-veggie smoothies.
