Healthy Spinach Smoothie

Healthy spinach smoothie for every morning.

I and my wife woke up today and felt like we wanted to drink a green smoothie for breakfast. We wanted to make healthy spinach smoothie to jump start our day. Since spinach alone seemed a bit more boring we decided to spike our green smoothie with few more ingredients;

• banana
• grapes (black seedless table)
• mint leaf (this was a fantastic choice) 🙂
• basil leaf

As you can see, there is not a lot of ingredients in this green smoothie, and I promise this will be delicious  🙂

Blender has done a fantastic job on our green smoothie. It took about 12 seconds to get the right consistency. I love adding ice cubes to my morning smoothies, it keeps them a bit cooler which is perfect for summer.

If you find yourself in a need for a different kind of smoothie, do not hesitate to try our refreshing watermelon smoothie recipe.

And after few minutes of blending my favorite green smoothie is ready to go 🙂
