Green smoothies can be a wonderful way to pack in vegetables, but balance is key. Including protein, healthy fats, and fiber with ingredients like Greek yogurt, avocado, hemp hearts, and chia seeds will help keep you satisfied and support steady energy throughout the morning. While fruit adds natural sweetness and important nutrients, keeping the focus on vegetables makes this smoothie a refreshing, lower-sugar option that’s perfect for summer. You could always add a scoop of your favorite protein powder for an extra dose of protein.
