Smoothies are a great place to “hide” vegetables which can make them even healthier than they are with just fruit and yogurt. In fact, you often won’t even be able to taste them if you know how to add them just right.
Here are some great ideas for vegetables that will give your smoothies a nutritional boost without overwhelming their flavor.
Kale
This superfood might seem bitter and like an odd choice for smoothies, but the reality is that if you add it in a correct proportion, you will reap all of its nutritional benefits without affecting taste. Combine it with sweet fruits that will counteract its natural bitterness.
Spinach
Spinach is a classic smoothie addition. Its high vitamin content and inoffensive taste means that it can blend in well into almost any type of smoothie. We love combining it with bananas and strawberries.
Carrots
Carrots have a relatively neutral taste with a bit of sweetness, making them a great addition to smoothies. Cut them up and combine them with other similarly-colored fruits like mango and peaches, and you won’t even realize that they’re there!
