Malk is the purest brand I’ve found in stores.Make sure the brand you choose doesn’t contain any unnecessary additives (like carrageenan!) and that it’s unsweetened.I like using cashew, almond, or walnut milk.If you guessed that they’re great for brain health…you’re correct!.Buy them at most grocery stores and on Amazon.Find them at most grocery stores and on Amazon.Also, it contains very little sugar…but still-sugar is sugar! Go easy on the honey.I like this product because it’s a superfood complex for immunity, cognitive, and allergy support.(To learn why I avoid these oils at all costs, click here.) Other brands-like Trader Joe’s Mixed Nut Butter-are also great! Just be sure that the nut butter you choose doesn’t include any unnecessary vegetable/seed oils, like canola.Find it at many grocery stores and on Amazon. Nuttzo’s 7 Nut & Seed Butter is my favorite.I’d recommend adding at least two of the following to each smoothie because you want it to be a meal replacement that will keep you satiated for several hours: I also keep a lot of nice-to-have additions on hand.

A scoop of this powder gives any smoothie a nutrient boost!.When I buy fresh greens for the purpose of making smoothies, I immediately freeze them so that they don’t rot.I usually buy fresh or frozen bags of arugula, spinach, and/or kale.Adding cauliflower to any green smoothie gives it a great creamy texture I promise you can’t taste it at all!.I buy frozen cauliflower for the same reasons I buy frozen berries.I like to buy giant bags of frozen berries because they’re cheaper and last longer.They have less sugar than other varieties and make any smoothie perfectly textured and tart.Naked Pea Protein is my fave because it only has ONE ingredient-yellow peas!-and zero additives.Protein is satiating, so you’re def gonna want to add some type of protein powder to your smoothie so that it’ll serve as a meal replacement.
Think: blending = better! Why is it called a green smoothie?Ī green smoothie is composed mainly of vegetables, so be sure not to add too much fruit!įruit should be considered “nature’s candy” natural sugar is still sugar! Now for the cheap green smoothie grocery list… When you juice, you lose most of the nutrients from the skin, pulp, and membranes. When you blend, you use the entire vegetable or piece of fruit (minus any seeds). Heat breaks down vitamin B1, vitamin B5, folate, and vitamin C, so you get more of these when you eat certain foods raw.Īlso, note that blending is different from juicing. No matter how hard you try, you’ll never chew vegetables enough to break them down in the same way a blender can.Īlso, some vegetables-like popular green smoothie additives spinach and avocado-are best eaten raw. When you blend produce, you break down cell walls and free up nutrients. Buckle your seatbelt! First of all, why blend?īlending vegetables and fruits is a great way to make their nutrients more bioavailable, or more easily absorbable. Whatever you do, don’t buy anything fancy! Any type will work just fine.)īy the end of this post, you’ll be a green smoothie expert. (You can use a traditional blender as well.
Now, I whip up a cheap green smoothie almost daily with my trusty ol’ immersion blender. Until recently, I was under the impression that making my own green smoothies was A) too expensive and B) only possible with a special blender (like the popular Vitamix).įortunately, I realized both beliefs are false! Green smoothies and juices are hot, hot, HOT! (Ironically, because they should be served cold, cold, COLD…)Ī new smoothie/juice place seems to pop up in my neighborhood every week!
