Simple Green Smoothies (Two Ingredient Green Smoothie Recipes!)

We all love new recipes and ideas, but sometimes the need for simplicity is more important. When we want good food and we want it fast, then simple green smoothies are so easy to make. Often I simply look around at what I have in my house, and find a fruit and a green and blend it together.

Since we often enjoy the same fruits week after week, it becomes easy to predict what will satisfy my needs, cravings, and be ultra quick and easy to make without requiring me to go purchase specific ingredients. These are usually two ingredient smoothies, or three if you count water or ice.

I’m going to share a few of my favorite simple smoothie combinations below; however, remember that all you need is some fruit and some greens. For each green smoothie simply add as much water or ice as you want in with the fruit and greens as you blend them.

Simple Green Smoothies

• Two grapefruit to 1/2 to entire bunch of cilantro
• Bananas and spinach (or any greens of course!)
• Apples and parsley
• Grapes and celery
• Cherries and celery
• Oranges and chard
• Cucumber and cilantro
• Tomatoes and green onions
• Tomatoes and basil
• Tart apple and dandelion greens

Simply try blending some of your favorite fruit and then add some leafy greens of any type. When looking for greens, don’t forget the non leafy broccoli and celery as well as the more zesty cilantro and parsley. If you’re unsure how a combination will taste, try just a small amount first, and then make more. You can also add the greens a small amount at a time.

Just as we all have our favorite foods, we all develop our favorite smoothie combinations over time. Have fun getting your greens!

Enjoy your freedom from recipes!
