Video Blog: Green Smoothie Madness Recipe

G’day guys! Tommy here in the Raw Blend kitchen and today I will be making for you my brand new Green Smoothie Madness Recipe. This smoothie recipe is so NEW that I don’t even know what I’m putting in it yet! It’s all about filling your Vitamix with green goodness. Now we call this an Advanced Green Smoothie, this is probably not something you want to try if you have never tasted a green smoothie before. Consider this recipe something that you have to work your taste buds up to.

Our modern day bodies are programmed or have been re-wired thanks to our lifestyles to crave and respond to sweet, sugary flavours so green smoothies the first time you try them can taste a little bitter.  We don’t want to scare you away but my suggestion is to leave this recipe is for the Green Smoothie Pro’s and work your way up to it. If you’re a Green Smoothie beginner try our Green Smoothie Show Signature Recipe.
