Green Vegetable Smoothies AKA Raw Green Smoothies | How Can I Add Greens and Have Smoothies That Taste Good

Here is a question I got asked several times this week…

How Can I Add Greens (Vegetables) and Get Yummy Smoothies?

Well, I drink green smoothies a lot - as you can probably tell from this website!

The green smoothies I love to make have fresh (or frozen) fruit plus some kind of green vegetable (usually a leafy green) – my favorites are: kale, spinach, celery, cucumber, romaine, etc.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are just getting used to smoothies that contain vegetables my very best advice is try not to over do the greens in the beginning.

I recommend starting with mostly fruit and just two or three leaves of greens, and then slowly work up to a handful, half a bunch, etc.

You can also make some simple smoothies so you'll know how certain fruits and greens taste in a smoothie. For instance, just one fruit and one green. Or while you are making a smoothie blend 2 ingredients, taste it, add a third, then taste again so you'll learn how the 3rd ingredient changed the taste and texture of the smoothie. Keep a smoothie journal to record the combinations you like.

Some greens you may never like in smoothies. For instance I love romaine in salads and in one particular strawberry smoothie but in other smoothies I can't stand it. Some people don't really like Collard Green smoothies. And celery is kind of weird in some smoothies and in others it is awesome!

Also, the taste of the smoothie will depend on the quality and ripeness of your produce. One smoothie I made was tasteless. I sampled cut pieces of the fruit I used that were left over and, no surprise, they were not bursting with any flavor themselves.

Certain fruits go well with certain greens, and some just don't taste good together. Experimentation to suit your personal taste is the key.
