Hey guys, here’s a quick and easy green smoothie to get you geared up for St. Patrick’s Day! Because ya know, Erin go Bragh and all of that good stuff. I even added some ginger beer to get that zingy kick! Carbonated beverages in your smoothies will actually help give them some extra volume, which can help keep you from packing your smoothie with dense calories (ehem, looking at you bananas).
If adding spinach to your smoothies freaks you out, then you just need to dive in head first. It doesn’t make your smoothie taste like spinach…it’s totally delicious and takes on whatever other flavors you’re using. Plus, spinach has some great vitamins and minerals that you don’t want to miss out on!
Happy early St. Paddy’s!
