Let’s face it: mornings can be
rough. Especially for this girl. The only time I have to work out is 4AM. Or as I like to call it O’Dark Thirty. But what if I told you there’s a quick, delicious, and
super healthy way to kickstart your day? Enter: the green smoothie with spinach and avocado—your new morning BFF. Now, this one is way too green for Miss Ivy and her ARFID self, and if I’m honest, I don’t love greens either so this is my solution.
Why Spinach and Avocado?
Spinach isn’t just Popeye’s favorite snack—it’s packed with iron, vitamins, and antioxidants that keep your body feeling strong and your skin glowing. Pair that with creamy avocado (hello, healthy fats and fiber!), and you’ve got yourself a superfood green smoothie that’s both nutritious and satisfying. And since I like sweet tropical flavors, there’s plenty of banana and pineapple for a big old antioxidant bomb. This one is super flexible, so you can add what you like.
But wait, it gets better. This smoothie isn’t just healthy—it’s deliciously creamy. The avocado creates that velvety texture, while spinach blends right in without overpowering the flavor. Greek yogurt supplies some protein and chia seeds do too, you can make it sweeter with some honey and you’ll be well on your way to pure green bliss.
