Eating your greens just became a lot easier with this green smoothie! "But Hannah, you love eating greens!" Okay, okay, you caught me. But I'll take any excuse to add extra greens whenever and wherever possible. And this green smoothie serves dual purpose being the perfect match for the green lovers AND haters!

I promise you - the only green you'll notice in this smoothie is its colour because the taste is a complete fruity bliss! You'll be taken to a tropical paradise with its peach and mango fusion without thinking twice about the greens. Think of it like Skittles - nobody avoids the green ones because of it's colour....you KNOW it's going to be good. Plus, green smoothies are SO in...so why not brag to all your friends about its vibrant hue, while basking in the hidden secret that you can't taste a single green veg!

This is what I love most about green smoothies - their trickery that has us believing anyone who drinks them are serious health freaks! When drinking green smoothies people look at you in complete wonderment - as if you were participating in a steak-eating competition, or benching 240 lbs! They're amazed you can down a drink so blatantly green. And the greener it is the more amazed they become! And yes, there's no doubt green smoothies are healthy, but by no means does it's colour indicate that it tastes like compost! In fact - it's quite the contrary. I actually PREFER the taste of green smoothies. Their creative combinations always deliver stellar outcomes. And so I'm immediately drawn to them whenever I lay eyes on them. Holding it in euphoria as if I've just discovered a unicorn. And sometimes at the grocery store I'm sadly informed that, no, it isn't a green smoothie whatsoever; but a giant jar of broccoli soup.... And although that's cool too - it's a mere consolation prize to the magical green smoothie.

So, now that you're in on the little secret about green smoothies and how deceivingly delicious they are, I'd like to share with you the most tantalizingly green smoothie: This Eat Your Greens Smoothie is pure green joy. It's blended with frozen mangoes, frozen peaches, coconut milk and banana, with a subtle boost of greens from spinach and spirulina. And the outcome is sheer genius! It no doubt has the capability of bringing everyone in on the little green smoothie secret: You can have your greens, and enjoy them too.

Hope you enjoy every beautiful bite.
