Agave Green Smoothies

One of the most popular ways to pack in a ton of nutrients into a single meal are green smoothies! A mix of fruits, liquid, agave, and kale or spinach make these a delicious way to get calcium, Vitamin K, and more easily digested iron. Adding agave nectar brings a touch of sweetness to your smoothie without the harmful effects of traditional processed sugars.

We like to make these healthy smoothies for breakfast, but they’re great at any time of the day. Don’t forget about after-school snacks for the kids, a late night healthy nosh, or a mid-day power boost.
