This week I visited a friend and she made me a smoothie. Not just any smoothie, but a healthy GREEN smoothie designed to promote weight loss.

It took some convincing because I’m not usually the type to eat something that doesn’t look appetizing, but I trusted her, so I did it. And guess what?

Now I’m totally hooked!

I was quite surprised that the smoothie didn’t taste as “green” as it looked. Her recipe include spinach, avocado, and apples. I decided to find a good mix of healthy smoothie recipes to try, and here’s what I came up with!

Healthy Green Smoothie Recipes for Weight Loss

All these recipes are packed with nutrients. I could stand to shed a few pounds after a winter of overindulging on sweets and not eating as many greens as I should.

I figure I can drink a detox or green smoothie at least once every other day to help me get back on track to maintain my figure. I don’t want to have to lose 50 lbs all over again! :/
