This Green Goddess Smoothie is a healthy snack that’s packed full of green fruits and veggies. This is one simple green smoothie you’re going to go crazy for!

I love green smoothies. I could drink one for every meal. I wish I could drink one to start each and every morning to start my day off. Unfortunately, though, I leave the house at 6:30 in the morning while everyone’s sleeping, and I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t appreciate the very noisy sound of the blender+ice to wake them from their slumber. 

So instead, I have a small smoothie as an after work and school snack with my son many afternoons.

And then there’s Saturdays. My favorite day of the week. Saturdays are my day where I get to eat and do whatever I want while the rest of my family fends for themselves. 

It’s usually full of yoga, spinning (on the Peloton, not just in circles…), reading, watching food documentaries, and of course eating the greenest of green food possible. My family does a great job at putting up with my meatless meals, and I do my best to make them as family-friendly as possible, but I know that on Saturdays, I don’t have to cater to anyone but myself.

So what did I make myself this Saturday? I thought of everything green I could to put in this smoothie. If my green grapes hadn’t rang up for eleven dollars, they would have been thrown in the mix (so feel free if you’re so financially inclined – it just wasn’t happenin’ for this budget).

Veggies, fruit, and leafy greens. It all got thrown in the mix without a second thought. I knew it would be delicious.

You should have seen me in my excitement. I was starving after yoga and a quick stop for the produce, so when I got home, it was frantic. I took my shoes off, but the scarf and coat remained on. There was no time to bother with coat removal. Prepped the fruit, blended, and photographed – all with my coat still on.

Finally when that last shot was taken, I threw a straw in the smoothie, took off my coat and scarf, and settled in for my deliciously healthy treat. Seriously, guys. Creamy, sweet, and fresh. You drink a smoothie like this and just feel the vitamins radiating through your body. So clean and tasty.

And just like most smoothies – it’s so easy to make this Simple Green Goddess Smoothie

1. In a high-speed blender, place all ingredients in the order they are listed. You want to make sure the spinach is weighted down by all the other ingredients to ensure everything gets mixed without chunks of spinach leaves.
2. Blend on high speed for about 45-60 seconds and enjoy in a tall glass. You can divide into 2 glasses or save half for later. When you’re ready to drink the remaining juice (within 24 hours), throw in 6 ice cubes and re-blend.

Let’s talk about all the green ingredients in my Green Goddess Smoothie:

• ice water
• vanilla protein powder, (optional – I use a pea protein-based powder)
• fresh spinach
• celery
• kiwi
• green apple
• green pear
• cucumber
• avocado

I mean, could you get any greener? Probably not easily!
