You will need two cups of leafy greens. Some recommendations if
you’re looking to lose weight are kale, spinach, bok choy, collards, or even dandelion. All of these are great energy boosting leafy greens that also help speed up the metabolism. -
Now you will need a liquid base in order to make the smoothie, well, a smoothie! You will need two cups of a liquid base to go with your leafy greens. Many options include water, coconut water, coconut milk, or almond milk. You will want to avoid full flavored milk as it won’t complement the other ingredients as well and will make the green smoothie fattening.

Finally, you will need three cups of a ripe fruit. This is how you can give your green smoothie some flavor, so include something you’ll enjoy drinking. Most green smoothies include fruits such as banana, berries, mango, pineapple, or even avocado.
For the best results, blend together your leafy greens and liquid base first. Then you will want to add in the fruits once the first part is blended well together and blend again for an actual smoothie, instead of a chunky drink you have to chew.
When you want an ice cold smoothie, ditch the ice and instead freeze your fruit before blending it. You can even freeze your leafy greens but make sure that once you take them out of the freezer, they’re immediately put in the blender and not defrosted.
