My Favorite Green Smoothie Recipe

If you follow my food page on Instagram, you've probably noticed that I've really been enjoying green smoothies lately. I stopped drinking them for a couple of months (not really sure why, lol) but now I'm back into them and completely obsessed. So a few years ago, I tried the Green Island Detox smoothie from Tropical Smoothie and I LOVED it! However, going to Tropical Smoothie once a day to get this delicious creation was not in my cards, so you know I learned to make it at home! If you're afraid of green smoothies, don't be. I promise that you can't taste the spinach, legit, all you taste is whatever fruit you put in it. This smoothie is being tagged as a breakfast option, but it is really great as a snack any time of day! If you're making any of these recipes, be sure to tag me in your photos!
