Another green smoothie to add to your morning rotation! Meet theĀ green machine smoothie!
Few things in life are certain. One of them being that swim suit season is right around the corner and I have a thing for pool parties. And really cute bright colored swimsuits. Another thing in life that is certain is that I am really bad at “dieting.” It doesn’t really work for me. Never has. Never will. I am terrible at depriving myself of something I really want. For example if I make a proclamation that I am not going to eat sugar for an entire month, I will literally give in within 24 hours. Who am I? I came to the conclusion many years ago that the best thing for me is just to eat what I want, when I want, and keep it all in moderation.
I feel like it’s basically what all those fabulous French women do, but California style. Gaby style. It’s how I roll.
One of the things I do to keep myself in check, is start my day with a smoothie. This one is part fruit, part vegetable, part freshly squeezed orange juice and some chia seeds! You could add hemp hearts, flax seed, bee pollen or whatever other add-ins you prefer! It’s bright and fresh and fruity and I love it!
Looks fabulous! My husband drinks a green smoothie every morning, and we’re always looking for ways to change it up. Definitely going to try this one!
Love this! I want one now!
Closet eater. =)
We’re crazy about smoothies around here and yours looks just gorgeous and perfect for spring.
Oooo, sounds fabulous!!
I need some-actually a lot of this!
Yes I agree! Diets make me fat. All I can think about is COOKIES. Love the guava juice! Never thought about using it in a smoothie before.
I am such a huge fan of green smoothies. I have them every morning and they give me an unbelievable boost of energy.
I need to do this every morning too. good motivation Gaby!!

Perfect! I’ve been looking for a healthy smoothie that isn’t toooo green š
What a shake!!! Bring some over ~ will ya?!
Gaby, this is really similar to how I make mine and they are SO good!
I am loving green smoothies lately!
Mmmm I’m always on the lookout for new green smoothie recipes. They are my go-to breakfast when the weather is nice. Looking forward to trying this one and the guava juice.
I love green smoothies!! Yours sounds exceptionally delicious and I would love to drink it every morning š
Looks great, I need to try this immediately!
Haha! That’s EXACTLY how I am too! I just can NOT deprive myself of sweets or anything or it’s like I think about them and want them even more. Need this smoothie in my life. š
You know very well that I’m not a huge juice or smoothie person (too much Jamba Juice back in the day) but this sounds awesome! Will it help me look like that Astrid chick from BBC by my trip to Mexico? I’m in need of help over here!
My dh & my 5 children LOVE it!!!! Thank you, Gaby!!!!!
I will be making this for me. I’m the only one in my family who likes smoothies, but they are suckers, ’cause this looks awesome.
Can I make this w/o the guava juice or is there something I can use instead? I’ve tried guava juice several times and I still don’t like it.
totally! you can use any kind of fruit juice that you like. Apple, Orange, Papaya etc
do we know what the calorie count in one of these are? and how many grams of fat, protein, and fiber?
What’s the calorie count on these green smoothies?
not sure!! I don’t have the technology to provide calorie count for my recipes! Sorry
Does anyone know where I can find the guava juice? I’ve looked at a couple different grocery stores with no luck.
I usually find it at my regular grocery store – its the Kerns brand!
Do you buy fresh guava juice? I’ve only seen it in cans at my supermarkets. I’m sure that pales In Comparison if you use fresh, no?
I haven’t found it fresh before – but I agree with you, it would be incredible!
Super fruity! Super summery! Will be making this one again!
What a great smoothie, has become a breakfast meal pretty often! Thank you for sharing.
I donāt have any orange juice on hand so I am going to try this with Watermelon Cooler from TJās! Pretty excited
What a perfect start to a busy day! And that straw…….
Wow! Just made this delicious smoothie. Itās very tasty. You wouldnāt even know spinach is in this. Itās got a tropical flavor because of the mango but the banana balances it out. Thanks Gaby for this yummy recipe.
DELISH
What could you substitute for the banana?
