The Best Green Smoothie Packed with Veggies and Protein

The Best Make-Ahead Green Smoothie

Let’s talk smoothies! Smoothies are a go-to in my house because they’re quick, easy to take on the go, and packed with nutrients. Plus, when life gets busy, having something healthy ready to grab makes mornings so much easier.

This healthy green smoothie recipe has become one of my weekly staples. I usually make a full blender at the beginning of the week, pop the blender right into the fridge, and enjoy it for the next couple of days. Not only does it save time, but it also helps me make sure I’m getting plenty of greens in throughout the week.

And the best part? It tastes sooo sooo good.

Why I Love This Green Smoothie

There are a lot of green smoothie recipes out there, but I love this one because it’s simple, refreshing, and loaded with real ingredients. The banana, apple, and pear naturally sweeten everything up, while the spinach and romaine pack in nutrients without overpowering the flavor.

In addition, adding MTN OPS protein powder makes it a great post-workout smoothie or quick breakfast option. P.S Code Eva saves you 20% off your entire MTN OPS order!

And if you’re looking for even more of my favorite MTN OPS products, I rounded up the ones I use most often here.
