    My smoothie consist of a carrot, 1-2 stalks of celery, 1/2-1 whole cucumber, a clove of garlic, 1-2 cups of kale, a cup of spinach, one apple, half of an orange, 1 banana , kiwi and avocado (both occasionally). Sometimes I also use pumpkin seeds, almonds, walnuts and sunflower seeds.

    These are great hacks! Thanx, Megan. I would love some great ideas for smoothies with these specific veggies, please.
    I love a spinach, avo and mango combo.
    Carrots and pineapple, also a winner.
    And pear, almonds, yogurt (non-vegan) and vanilla paste delish!

    @kristing5215 7 років тому +1

    Thank you for this video. I've used frozen zucchini in place of ice cubes with chocolate protein powder. The texture was nice and thick. I couldn't taste the zuke at all. I've done other leafy greens as well. As long as I keep it down to a cup, I don't notice the taste. I like using some unsweetened cranberry juice as the base (but not for chocolate, of course).

    • @HealthyGroceryGirl
      @HealthyGroceryGirl  7 років тому

      Yay!! I totally agree, with small amounts you can't taste the veg! But it's so awesome that they are in there!! :D

  • @lizzbrock2672
    @lizzbrock2672 Рік тому +1

    My smoothie is pretty much the same every day. One apple, half of a cucumber, half of a zucchini, one stock of celery, a knob of ginger, lemon juice or lime, depending on what I have pineapple, mango and then whatever leafy green I have on hand.
    I love the tip on freezing your herbs. I definitely want to try that. I have herbs dying in my refrigerator as we speak.😮😂

    @beccawitch 7 років тому +3

    I love freezing spinach and adding it to my smoothies. I have tried broccoli in smoothies but I also taste it more then anything else. Do you have a smoothie recipe that I can add broccoli to but you cant taste it? I love eating broccoli just about every way but not drinking it.

    • @HealthyGroceryGirl
      @HealthyGroceryGirl  7 років тому

      Pretty much any smoothie recipe you can add some broccoli too! Here is one of my smoothie recipe videos you could get some ideas from! ua-cam.com/video/TWWAUI7kao8/v-deo.html I would say the key is to have a sweet fruit to help hide the taste such as banana & then maybe add less broccoli - just add 1 - 3 florets? Even a little broccoli is helpful!!

    I've always been curious on what your stance is when it comes to juicing veggies vs just blending them?

    • @HealthyGroceryGirl
      @HealthyGroceryGirl  7 років тому +1

      Both are great! Just depends on your health needs + goals. Smoothies can still have the fiber from the fruits + veggies, so they are more filling :) Fresh juice can be a quick way to nourish the body with an immense amount of fruits + veggies!

  • @kellymartinez7239
