Tasty & simple green smoothie

Is this a green smoothie that tastes good? Get out of here.

Yes, last week we made a healthy green smoothie that doesn’t make us question whether eating healthy is worth it.

It’s hydrating, it’s nutty, it’s sweet and it looked like poop the first time we made it. Because cinnamon.

But as we all know – real beauty is on the inside. (Well, at least that’s what they tell you when you don’t wear make up)

Seriously, you’ll be missing out if you don’t add cinnamon. Lately we're adding this healthy spice to EVERYTHING. We use it in yogurt, oatmeal, smoothies – can’t get enough.

Well, not like our brother in law who makes zucchini with cinnamon and pretends this is a delicacy. That’s just sad.

Going off track & New Sugar Addiction

As we told you, since November we've gone off track and we've been eating like a trash can. How does a trash can eat?

Well it eats everything you throw in it.

So we ate a lot of sweets and now, we can’t help but crave sugar. Before that we did’t have a huge sweet tooth, but that thing is dangerous we're telling you.

Like we know it’s as addictive as cocaine.

But to us it seems to be worse than that. We mean, we don’t crave cocaine. Like at all.

And no New Years resolutions, no nothing works with us. In fact January is the slowest month for us. Like, we need some time to realize it’s a new year and a new us. It’s a new us, but nobody told our taste buds and our belly fat yet.

Belly fat – time for retirement, man.

However, we're slowly getting into the groove and starting to eat less sugar and adding more smoothies and salads to our diet.

Okay, this is going waaaay off topic.

Green smoothie. Focus, Gaical, focus.

Health and Beauty Benefits Of This Green Smoothie

So this green smoothie has only 6 ingredients, but they’re all AWESOME.

(drumroll, please!):

• Spinach – for protein, minerals and provitamin A (Did you know spinach is one of the top 15 high-protein low-carb vegan foods out there, well you didn’t ask, but now you know and you’re welcome.)
• Banana – for potassium, fiber, creaminess and sweetness
• Favorite Nut/Seed butter – for some healthy fats, fiber and vitamin E (use almond butter or like we used some sunflower seed butter), helps absorb provitamin A better
• Ground ginger & cinnamon – for an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory boost
• Parsley – this is optional if you don’t like parsley, but it adds more antioxidants, protein and importantly vitamin C.

And that is it. We like this smoothie and it’s the only green smoothie we actually can imagine myself drinking daily. We hope you like it too!
