After some general experimenting with different fruits, greens, combinations, etc I found my go to recipe:
1 cup blueberries (my current favorite, but substitute as desired)
1/4 cup water (or raw milk, or almond milk)
1 banana
2+ kale leafs (can substitute with spinach, collard greens, etc)
Optional:
handful of almonds
handful of cashews
2 tbsp hemp seeds
2 tbsp cashews
2 tbsp chia seeds
spoonful of coconut oil
Spinach has a more neutral taste compared to kale, and is better for beginners. I try to pack as many greens as my tastebuds can handle or blender can fit. I try to put more emphasis on greens vs fruit, but can be hard since fruit typically tastes better (however greens are healthier). The banana is soluable fiber which provides creamy ‘smoothie’ texture. I only use 1/4 cup water because I don’t like runny smoothies, and worst case scenario you can always add more if needed.
