I make green smoothies fairly regularly. I find that they are a great, easy way to make sure I’m getting the nutrient-rich greens I need, especially if I am on the go. I also always have fun trying new things and combining new ingredients. This recipe is relatively similar to my Super Simple Green Smoothie, but uses a few different ingredients including almond butter and coconut milk. The result is a lusciously creamy green smoothie packed with nutrients, healthy fats and Omega-3s!
