Returning to the basics with this easy, go-to recipe is refreshing. You can make it on a whim and feel great afterward.
Here are some nutritional highlights:
The main benefit of this smoothie is its ability to boost your energy and vitality. Starting your day with it makes you feel amazing, and it’s a perfect afterschool snack for kids. For my daughter Vienna, I often add frozen strawberries, which she insists are essential in every smoothie lately.

Hi Joy,
This looks delicious, but I’m allergic to pineapple. What would you suggest as a substitute?
Hi Jacqueline, you could use mango or papaya instead. Enjoy!
I tried this simple green smoothie yesterday morning—so refreshing! It was a great way to start my day.
Awesome, glad to hear that, Tina!
Is it okay to leave the skin on the cucumber?
This smoothie is great for the morning. It’s light, yet satisfying and tasty. I love it!
Glad you love it, Margaret!
Yes, leaving the skin on the cucumber is recommended; that’s where most of the fiber and nutrients are, especially silica, which is great for shiny hair!
Thanks for confirming, I thought so too!
Thank you, Joy!
Hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day!
I just made it—so yummy and energizing. Thank you!
You’re welcome, Jennifer! Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ll definitely make it.
Thanks!
Enjoy!
Hello,
Which nut butter and seed butter do you recommend for this smoothie? I’d like options to be school-friendly.
Sunflower butter is fantastic, and you might want to try Sunbutter. There are different varieties, so be sure to choose one without added sugar. Enjoy!
I’m often rushed in the morning; can I make this smoothie the night before and still retain its nutritional benefits?
Absolutely! While you will lose some vitamin C over time, the smoothie will still be nutritious and tasty.
