super green smoothie recipe If you are looking for a fun way to take your daily green powder, then here is a great recipe for you! This Super Green Smoothie is a simple way to sneak in your powdered greens and a few other “superfoods” in one delicious recipe. Being high in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants, while providing a wide variety of healing properties for the body and mind, this smoothie can easily become a daily staple for your spring and summer days.

I personally enjoy this smoothie as a pick-me-up snack around 10 am or so, but it can be a great breakfast all in itself! With the vast variety of nutrients this smoothie provides, it is naturally Ojas promoting, energy-boosting, and a great sweet treat to curve your sugar cravings in a healthier way. The avocado and coconut oil provide some much-needed essential fats that will help you to digest the smoothie, absorb the nutrients, and reduce the dry quality of the green powder.

AYURVEDIC TIP

Always remember that fruit is meant to be eaten on its own, and never should be mixed with other foods to ensure proper digestion. To avoid unwanted symptoms of indigestion and toxicity, this smoothie should be eaten as a separate meal or at least 2 hours after any other food intake.
