How to Make the Perfect Greens and Fruit Smoothie

Simple Tips for a Delicious and Nutritious Greens and Fruit Smoothie

A greens and fruit smoothie ideally is packed with alkalizing greens (about 60-70% of your mix) yet still tastes amazing. The right balance of low-to-medium GI fruits, nutrient-dense ingredients, and flavorful add-ins will create a refreshing, energizing fruit drink that supports your health while keeping your taste buds happy.

Tips for a Healthy Greens and Fruit Smoothie

1. Keep It Balanced

For a steady energy boost, smoothies work well as a breakfast option or a mid-afternoon snack. Adding chia seeds, hemp seeds, or collagen protein helps maintain fullness while keeping blood sugar levels stable.

2. Drink Two Glasses a Day

Aim for at least two glasses daily. To save time, make a larger batch, then store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours or share it with a friend.

3. Use Frozen Fruit for Creaminess

Adding at least one frozen fruit—such as pineapple, berries, mango, or banana—creates a smooth, creamy texture without needing ice.

4. Customize to Your Taste

Experiment with different fruits to suit your preferences! Swap peaches for mangoes or cherries for berries, depending on what’s in season.

5. Add a Protein for Balanced Nutrition 

Collagen protein is my go to! I use equivalent to 30g protein in my smoothie blend. Keeps your blood sugar even and your hair, skin & nails look amazing.

6. Blend for a Smooth Texture

A high-speed blender, like a Nutribullet, ensures a perfectly smooth consistency, eliminating unwanted fruit chunks.
