    Green Smoothies That Don't Taste Green at All

    Published: Mar 31, 2017 · Updated: Mar 4, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    There’s nothing quite like the invigorating color of bright green smoothies. Just looking at the deep chlorophyll green makes you feel healthy. But looking at it reminds you of the taste of spinach or what you would imagine grass to taste like.

    Actually, a brilliant green smoothie can taste amazing. Added flavors like spices, berries and tropical fruits can make a green smoothie taste divine. So below are several types of green smoothies that don’t taste green.

    Tropical Green Energy Smoothie

    One of the easiest ways to make a smoothie not taste green is to add some mango. Mango is a strong tropical flavor that will make you think you’re sipping a tropical drink along the seaside. As an added fruity boost, the recipe also calls for lime juice, a banana and coconut water.

    Avocado seed smoothie

    The benefits of avocado seeds are numerous. They’re strong antioxidants and high in soluble fiber, for starters. This recipe also calls for banana, lemon, ginger and coconut water for a boost of flavor. Matcha powder and spinach also add to the health benefits.

    If you’re looking for a super easy recipe that just has four ingredients, look no further than this drink. It contains a banana, spinach, peanut butter for a shock of delicious protein and soy milk. The banana and peanut butter will keep it from tasting like a blenderized salad.

    This recipe loads in the coconut flavoring, in addition to mango, for a tropical blast. Canned coconut milk adds a deep coconut base. A banana and orange juice add to the tropical flavors. Spinach gives this smoothie its green color. An option for added coconut flavor is some coconut butter.
