Wild Greens and Avocado Smoothie
This smoothie is a delicious and refreshing way to get your daily dose of greens. It's made with a blend of wild greens, avocado, frozen banana, water, unsweetened almond milk, chia seeds, almond butter, and ground ginger. The result is a creamy, flavorful smoothie that's packed with nutrients.
I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover wild greens. I had a bunch of arugula, spinach, and kale that was starting to wilt, and I didn't want to let it go to waste. I decided to throw them in a blender with some other ingredients, and the result was this delicious smoothie.I've been making this smoothie for years now, and it's become one of my favorites. It's a great way to start the day, or to have as a snack or post-workout recovery drink. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their greens.
