Green Smoothies are a fabulous way to get the health benefits of green vegetables with relatively little effort. Taking the time to tweet the taste and flavour to your liking can take practice. The most important component of a green smoothie is the fibre which is important for a healthy microbiome. It is therefore preferable to blend rather than juice the ingredients. This recipe makes enough juice for two servings.
