A green Smoothie is a way to include vegetables in your diet. Greens we know are a great source of vitamins and nutrients. This smoothie also has a tasty dash of fruits. This means you can skip sweeteners like refined sugar. Kickstart your day with a healthy smoothie, a green smoothie. The other smoothies we like are Papaya Smoothie, Carrot, Apple and Orange Smoothie or my favourite Beetroot Smoothie.

I discovered this smoothie when my friend told me that she and her husband were on a Smoothie diet for diabetes management. I tried this healthy green smoothie on a trial basis at first. Soon it was clear that it was easier not to eat junk food between meals. This made it easier to control my sugar and salt intake.
Over a period I have adapted this Green Smoothie recipe and it suits my family’s taste. I can safely say it is a great detox and good for weight loss. So, you can use this recipe just as it is or adjust it to suit your taste.

Is Green smoothie good for you? Why?
Green Smoothies are a good way to get a load of veggies and fruits into your system. Definitely nutritious and a huge plus but a restrictive diet is never good for anyone. So only green smoothies (or any single food) isn’t healthful. You can check the food insights article for more info here.
Do green smoothies help lose weight?
I find that when I have a green smoothie I feel full for a longer period. This means less junk food I consume. Personally, not adding empty calories to my smoothie makes it more effective for me to lose weight. For better insights, I recommend the article by WebMD here.
What fruits not to mix in a smoothie?
Avoid a mixture of watermelon, muskmelons, cantaloupe. Avoid fruits like strawberries, grapefruit, apples, peaches with sweet fruits like bananas.
When is the Best Time to Have a Smoothie?
I prefer breakfast but you can have it before or after a workout. To satisfy a sweet tooth or when you have no time for a regular lunch.

pranita says
Very nice recipe.
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks, Pranita
Poonam Bachhav says
Have yet to get used to the taste of raw spinach di, your green smoothie looks a perfect one to start with.
ArchanaPotdar says
Poonam, raw spinach tastes good. Try it as a salad with garlic first.
Vidya Narayan says
This is a perfect recipe for detox or cleansing. Tall glasses of this juice and I can imagine some serious health benefits and great skin too. Arch, loved the clicks.. keep them coming!
ArchanaPotdar says
Vidya thank you. Your comment on the pictures makes me smile ear to ear. In fact, hubby is wondering just what I am reading. 😀
Mayuri Patel says
Raw spinach is the best for overall healthiness. However, its difficult to consume it raw on its own. Adding to salads, drinks makes it more palatable. Here you’ve used apple and cucumber to make it extra healthy. Now that’s a perfect smoothie to wake up to everyday.
ArchanaPotdar says
Thank you, Mayuri.
Preethi Prasad says
Loved the addition of spinach and cucumber with green apple for the smoothie. Such a lovely colour.I would love to have this detox green smoothie anytime.
ArchanaPotdar says
Thank you, Preethi.
Sujata Roy says
This green smoothie looks delicious. Loved the bright green colour. Mixed taste of spinach, cucumber and apple must be great. Super healthy share.
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks, Sujata.
Veena Krishnakumar says
This is one smoothie I have never tried as yet. Will try it asap as I have some homegrown palak and want to use it judiciously. Lovely recipe
ArchanaPotdar says
Homegrown Palak? Wow! I am honoured.
Shobha Keshwani says
This sure looks healthy and loaded with nutrition. I like the addition of apple as it lends the sweetness and balances the flavours. Lovely colour too.
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks, Shobha.
Neha says
Nice vibrant colour Smoothie. Im sure the apple must have enhanced its taste. Thanks for such a wonderful sharing.
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks, Neha.
Chef Mireille says
so goes the saying we are what we eat! Not only is this good but good for you. Though I cant wrap my tastebuds around savory drinks so I add a pinch of sugar instead of a punch of salt.
ArchanaPotdar says
Yes, I agree you will find it difficult to have something that is not sweet. We cannot do so first thing in the morning.
Mayuri Patel says
Often I make healthy green smoothie with spinach being the star ingredient. I vary the fruit of vegetables added for different flavour. It definitely is a versatile smoothie recipe and healthy too.
ArchanaPotdar says
😀
Jayashree T.Rao says
Loved this green smoothie of yours. I will make it for my breakfast. I have never used spinach in my smoothies, will give a go to this one.

This combo is good. I find it hard when it is extra thick to gulp down. I will surely try this combo.
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks.

Love such smoothies, adding of fruits and veggies in one balances the sugar .

Mina Joshi says
Such a delicious smoothie. I love making different smoothies and now have one more to try. I would add some moringa powder to this recipe to make it a bit more interesting.
ArchanaPotdar says
Hmm, love the idea of adding moringa leaves. A great way of feeding the leaves to reluctant husbands.
