Green Smoothie Sunrise

This green smoothie is a refreshing way to start your day. It's packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it's easy to make. Simply combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. You can enjoy it immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later.

The green smoothie has become a popular breakfast choice in recent years, and for good reason. It's a quick and easy way to get a healthy dose of fruits, vegetables, and nutrients. This particular green smoothie recipe is inspired by the classic Sunrise Smoothie, which is made with orange juice, banana, and yogurt. I've swapped out the orange juice for unsweetened almond milk, and I've added spinach, avocado, cucumber, celery, lime juice, chia seeds, and ground ginger. The result is a smoothie that is both refreshing and satisfying.
