I'm so excited that you wanted to get this handy booklet of healthy green treats! Before we get to the recipes, I wanted to share a couple of easy and healthy ways to make your food green. One of the best ways is to add kale or spinach to your smoothie. Another great green ingredient is matcha powder.

Here are some of the health benefits of these green boosters: 🌱 enhances your immunity 🌱 improves digestion 🌱 helps with cholesterol 🌱 promotes weight loss 🌱 can help strengthen your bones 🌱 helps prevent chronic diseases.

Don't forget, if you want to add even more plant power and protein, you can add our vanilla Juice Plus+ Complete. I'd be happy to send you a sample or help you place an order!

This Green Smoothie Bowl is made with three types of fruit and topped with even more, providing the ultimate antioxidant boost! Spinach is added to give it its vibrant green color and promote good bone health. Smoothie bowls are highly versatile, but starting with a strong, nutrient-dense base is crucial for reaping the full benefits.

Just remember, when making a smoothie bowl, use less liquid than fruit to achieve a thick consistency that can be easily eaten with a spoon.

These Green Smoothie Protein Pops, made with vegan protein powder, spinach, and coconut water, are a refreshing snack for a hot summer day! You could even have a popsicle as part of your breakfast if you want. They are less than 65 calories each, have no added sugar, and contain several grams of protein.

I am certain that kids would love them too. It would be a great way to get them to eat spinach, since it is generally difficult to taste spinach when it is mixed into foods like this!

Pistachio and matcha make a gorgeous combination, and I love these little snack bites so much. They are filled with healthy fats, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, making them one of my favorite adult-only treats to have in the fridge.

Matcha (or matcha powder) is finely ground green tea that is energizing without being as potent as coffee or black tea. It has a sweet, slightly bitter, grassy, fresh, and clean taste. Pistachios are loaded with fiber, minerals, and unsaturated fats, which can help keep your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol in check. Their fiber and protein can also make you feel fuller for longer. Additionally, this fiber can have a positive effect on your gut by aiding "good" bacteria. So, what I'm hearing is...eat up!

This Mango Spinach Banana Smoothie is not only incredibly healthy, but it is also refreshing, creamy, and downright delicious. If brightness and positive change could be translated into a recipe, this 5-ingredient mango banana smoothie would be it.

Additionally, it is vegan, naturally sweetened, and gluten-free.

This lucky green ice cream puts a twist on traditional ice cream by using frozen bananas instead of cream, resulting in a wonderfully creamy texture. The inclusion of baby spinach and mint adds a healthy touch and gives it a splash of St. Patrick's Day green.

Did you know that mint can aid in digestion by stimulating digestive enzymes? Mint leaves also have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce inflammation in the stomach.

Soft, tender, and oh-so green, you wouldn’t believe these snowball cookies are actually made from canned chickpeas! Believe me when I say that matcha and chickpea go so well together, you will be pleasantly surprised. Chickpeas have a beautiful nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the bitterness of matcha, and the dusting of powdered sugar on these balls makes them taste heavenly.

Just be sure to go light on the powdered sugar – a little goes a long way! These cookies are very easy to make; simply put all the ingredients in a blender, roll them into balls, and bake them.

Introducing the easiest way to sneak some veggies into your breakfast or brunch: green pancakes with blueberries! One batch is loaded with one or two cups of spinach (depending on how green you want them). And believe me, you won't even taste it. Especially once you pile on some delicious blueberries and pure maple syrup to add some sweetness!

I hope you have saved these recipes to your phone's library so you can refer back to them whenever you need a green boost. And don't forget, if you need to order some Complete, I would be happy to assist you. I can add one bag to your cart or we can set up a recurring order.
