This green superfood smoothie is a green smoothie filled with healthy greens and lots of superfood ingredients!
I love green smoothies – it’s an easy way to get lots of greens & healthy nutrients into your diet at breakfast time (or any time of day). Let’s face it, no one really wants to eat a bunch of leaves for breakfast – but sipping on them in a yummy smoothie is so easy! And, if you make a green smoothie the right way you will hardly even taste the greens

What is a superfood? A superfood is a food that is considered to be beneficial for ones health because it is very rich in nutrients.

Superfood ingredients in this smoothie:

-cinnamon
-Maca
-chia seeds
-flax seeds
-coconut
-honey
-avocado

Ps. If you are a green smoothie beginner, you might want to start out your green smoothie experience with my classic green smoothie – it’s really simple & subtle. This green superfood smoothie is super delicious but it might be best for people with adventurous tastebuds! It’s sweet & a little spicy!
