Over the years, I have picked up some healthy habits to maintain weight loss and trying different green smoothie recipes has been at the top of my list.
Green smoothies are a combination of fresh leafy greens, flavorful fruit, and a liquid base. All these in one cup have helped me fight sickness, maintain weight-loss, boost iron intake and detox. Sound too good to be true? It’s not!
I have tried a number of green smoothie recipes, but these 3 are my favourites and are easy to whip up, with easy to find ingredients.

Thank you for this informative blog. Where can I find hem seeds, protein powder, and coconut water? I didn’t find it in the Kenyan supermarkets around me, am based in Thika.
