Start Loving Beneficial Leafy Greens
Thoughts of leafy greens in daily smoothie bring dislike in mind for many of us! Trust me, you can easily hide the bitter taste of certain leafy greens by using other sweeter ingredients.
If you are beginner, then I would recommend to start with baby spinach. Spinach is high in nutrients and vitamins and milder in taste. You can easily hide the taste of spinach by using sweeter fruits such as bananas, strawberries, mangoes and papaya.
Slowly, you can start adding other greens with stronger taste, such as kale, Swiss chard, beet greens and similar. You may also like my post on top greens for green smoothie recipes.
