I was inspired to make this refreshing drink after having a glass of mint lemonade at a local Middle Eastern restaurant. But I didn't have any lemons at home that day , just limes, apples, mint, and cucumber. So I experimented and came up with this sweet and tangy drink. The applesauce and lime (minus its peel) add to the smoothness of this beverage.

I came with this recipe one day that I didn't have enough ingredients for my green juice recipe.

Do you know when you get a craving for something cool on a hot day, but you want to stay away from ice cream because of the calories? This is the perfect recipe for such situations.Provided you don't add sugar, the sugar and milk do wonders for your digestive health.Freeze the bananas first to make a deliciously cold smoothie.All you have to do is prepare and mix the ingredients.Frozen berries are expensive, so I don't want to use too much. That's why I bulk it out with a banana.But to tell the truth, it tastes better with lots of berries. Recipe by Kawaii obentoubako

This is my first "green" smoothie recipe. Did you know almond milk has 50% more calcium than conventional dairy milk? Fresh spinach is a wonderful "green" to add for its nutritional value AND it stays fresh for a long time in the refrigerator!

I put on weight when I stopped breastfeeding, so I started drinking green smoothies. Everyone from kids to adults can enjoy this smoothie.Make this with whatever veggies you have in your fridge. Add bok choy, parsley and other greens if you like. I drink this in the mornings instead of breakfast! It contains banana and soy milk, so it is more filling than normal green smoothies.

Recipe was adapted from the Skinny Green Monster Smoothie on skinnytaste.com. Thank you for the wonderful recipe ideas!While this recipe may not be the healthiest green smoothie, it is still very good for you. It has a fair amount of protein, which will leave you feeling fuller for longer. It is quite sweet so I wouldn't recommend it to those who enjoy tangy smoothies.It is a great way to kick start an active day!

This is the best smoothie you have ever had,it is prepared in very less time,this is my own recipe...Please do try

I've tried quite hard to sneak all kinds of nutrient-rich ingredients into my kids' smoothies - sometimes they buy it, other times not. This is a failsafe recipe that always goes down a treat.A few weeks back, I finally took the plunge and ordered a NutriBullet. After seeing so many tempting instagram snaps and Pinterest recipes, I couldn't resist. About the same time, the Almond Board of California got in touch with me to ask if I'd like to take their 21-day Snack Happy Challenge (http://www.almonds.co.uk/snack-happy-challenge). The stars had aligned perfectly.I've been snacking on a handful of almonds every day this month, and including them in my favourite smoothie recipes.Why almonds?• A handful of almonds (30g) provide approximately 65% of your daily requirement of vitamin E.• Almonds are a high source of fibre, are packed with healthy, unsaturated fats and are a natural source of protein.• Almonds are rich in calcium, which is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.• Almonds are a high source of magnesium, which contributes to reducing tiredness and fatigue.• Almonds provide linoleic acid, which contributes to maintaining normal cholesterol levels.• Just a handful of these noble nuts is all you need to up your daily nutrient intake. Pop them in your handbag to snack on-the-go in your moments of need.

This is one of my favorite recipes for a green smoothie. It's refreshing with a subtle sweetness. It makes a nice breakfast or snack.
