Years ago I could not image me drinking a green smoothie — I have done smoothies for years, but not with alot of green vegetables. The thought turned me off, then one day I decided to be adventurous and decided to make a green smoothie that would taste great. For me there are 2 secrets, first making sure it is a nice green color — see below for my secret ingredient! The second is in the protein powder — using a high quality vanilla flavored powder makes a huge difference.
This recipe not only looks amazing, it tastes great and it’s a great way to begin a detox program.

Vega One Protein Powder in my opinion is one of the best tasting protein powders on the market. It is also organic, vegan, gluten and sugar free. The nutritional value is unsurpassed and it also contains probiotics. I did an independent taste test of over 50 different powders and Vega One came out number one. I strongly recommend using this as your go to protein powder.
