My Ultimate Green Smoothie Recipe

May 8, 2015 by Dawn Michelle

Getting abundant greens into your diet can sometimes be a challenge.  Smoothies and fresh pressed juices seem to be the easiest way to do just this.  Not only do greens give rich nutrients to your body, but they also help the body gently detox.  It is crucial to “take the trash out” for extraordinary health and beauty.  True beauty is an inside job anyway.  Allowing glorious greens to assist with this is such an awesome thing.  Here is My Ultimate Green Smoothie Recipe!

What You Will Need:

3 cups of organic spinach

1 large organic cucumber

2 organic apples (core removed)

2 organic kiwi fruits

1/4 cup raw organic pumpkin seeds

3-6 pitted medjool dates (sweetness factor)

1 teaspoon-1 tablespoon Healthforce Superfoods Vitamineral Green (optional)

3-4 cups distilled/filtered water

high speed blender or blender of your choice

Blend the above ingredients and ENJOY!

Below I shared how this smoothie appeared in my CRON-O-Meter account.  I did not include the Healthforce Superfoods Vitamineral Green supplement in the nutritional breakdown since I wanted to share only the values of eating organic whole foods.  I do include this supplement into my smoothie as my whole foods multivitamin though.  And yes this smoothie contains 11 grams of protein!

You may also notice that I did not add water to CRON-O-Meter which you can.  Raw fruits and vegetables contain water.  Eating dried fruits and vegetables are definitely a healthier snack than junk food, yet eating fruits and vegetables in their natural state provides more hydration to the body.

Find more organic smoothie recipes here.  Learn more on how to be your own nutritionist here.

One Love!

    Seriously… your ENTIRE website is freaking AMAZING! I am a Nutritionist and Personal Trainer in the LA area, and I started reading your skincare blogs for my hyperpigmentation and oil cleansing advice. However, I’m noticing everything else that you post about and I’m definitely hooked. You and I have SO MUCH in common, this is amazing… I would love to meet you and hang out! LOL.. we’re both minimalist, environmentalists, and 100% organic folk. 🙂 Thank you for all that you do on the internet here for your site, you are awesome. Keep it up! 🙂 -Alicia

  • My Fall/ Winter 2019 Capsule Wardrobe is up FINALLY!  It's taken me a LONG time to get this capsule wardrobe together. Much of it is linen, thrifted, and a few pieces I sewed myself.  I was really worried I wouldn't be prepared for winter back on the east coast, but I did get it together.  Luckily winter in North Carolina is not even close to winter further north. 🍂🍁
My Fall/Winter 2019 Capsule Wardrobe consists of five tops, three skirts, five dresses, three sweaters, three coats, two pairs of shoes, a scarf, bag, and belt. 🍂🍁 This #capsulewardrobe is still #modest and should definitely appeal to the #linenlover.  I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! 🍂🍁 Much love! 🍂🍁

  • My love for linen dresses hasn’t stopped. But since our big move from Los Angeles, CA to Raleigh, NC the budget for them has. Luckily I purchased a great drop shoulder linen top a year ago that I created a pattern from.
🕊
With this pattern I’ve made a top and two dresses so far. One of the dresses is in my spring/summer capsule, yet the dress I’m sharing today is for fall/winter. Today I wanted to share a bit of the process for making this latest dress on Minimalist Beauty.

  • I haven't posted many things on food/nutrition on the blog or even here for a long time since I've been figuring things out myself.  One thing that I've been doing in the last few months is fermenting all grains, beans, and legumes. 🌿 I had stopped eating them all together because of the phytic acid that they contain which can really limit your diet.  Fermenting grains, beans, and legumes makes a huge difference.  If this is something you'd be interested in hearing more about just let me know. 🌿This delicious dinner is piled high with mixed greens, basmati rice, black beans, avocado, and a rather large mound of raw minced garlic which is my warrior food against getting sick while the weather is changing here in NC. #fermenting #minimalistbeautyeats #foodasmedicine
  • My most updated skin care regimen along with the HUGE benefits using only oils high in linoleic acid for six years in my skin care routine on the blog today.  Wishing all if you a beautiful weekend! 💞Dawn Michelle

  • I never thought I would actually say this but, I'm really enjoying the bare walls of our new apartment.  After the stress and chaos of moving our family across the country, I've noticed that bare walls allow me space to think. 🌿 We're constantly bombarded with information, and some of it we create ourselves.  It's all much more than I can comfortably handle. 🌿 Just sharing some thoughts on minimalism and decor on the blog today.  Pictured is part of my son's creative space.  Hope you're having a great week! 🌿 #simpleliving #minimalistbeauty #minimalistdecor
  • Moving is always challenging. No one is exempt. Our family of three (plus our dog) recently relocated from Los Angeles, California to Raleigh, North Carolina. We made a stop in Virginia to spend time with family as well as recoup from the first part of our move. We then planned what we could for our new location.
🕊
This entire move has been a true testimony of faith since I’ve only been to Raleigh once as a teen, and we chose our apartment online sight unseen. 🕊

  • We're currently selling and donating 95% of our things and relocating. 🕊What has surprised me more than anything else is when we decided to donate and sell practically everything, our possessions no longer had the same value to us. 🕊I'm extremely excited for this new beginning. 🕊Read more on minimalistbeauty.com.  #minimalist #minimalistlifestyle #decluttering #newbeginnings 🕊(FYI... During this transition @iamAZUHA will be on a summer vacation for a few weeks beginning Wednesday June 19th.  So if you need to restock on the AZUHA Red Raspberry Skin Elixir go for it.)
  • Yes I did it again. I was planning to grow it long, but things changed. I blame it on being a busy mom, but I've been eyeing this cut for a few years now.  All the details on how I cut my own hair in a very simple way is up on Minimalist Beauty... Linen dress by @cottoncandy_by_romana
