Easy Sweet Green Smoothie
Easy Sweet Green Smoothie
"Sweet Green Smoothie is gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan. It's thick, icy, refreshing, and delicious. It's made with Arbonne Vanilla Protein Shake Mix which is a vegan protein powder. I slice, peel, and freeze banana's 24 hours ahead of time to ensure they are frozen which gives this smoothy a cold and refreshing taste. This recipe serves a family of 2-4 for breakfast or brunch. And, I prefer to use a Vitamix to blend the smoothie."

Notes
I prefer to use crushed ice and a frozen banana which yields a colder smoothie. I peel and slice the banana before freezing, and I freeze the bananas at least 24 hours ahead of time. Slicing the banana helps to ensure the smoothie blends easily. It's important to chop the apple into small pieces or it will be difficult to blend the smoothie.
