Easy Microgreens Smoothie Recipe
A nourishing, healthy smoothie with microgreens, blackberries, apple, and a scoop of plant protein, all adding up to a delightful vegan-friendly microgreen smoothie.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1 Cup microgreens of choice loosely-packed
- 1 Cup frozen blackberries
- 1 small apple cored & sliced
- ½ cup coconut milk more as needed
- 1 sprig fresh mint 7-10 small or 5-6 large leaves
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup optional
- 1 Tablespoon protein powder optional
- pinch of salt optional
Instructions
- Wash and dry your microgreens, and peel and slice your apple into chunks, removing the core.
- Next add everything to your blender and pulse several times to start breaking down the ingredients, making each pulse a bit longer than the last, and then blend on high for 20-30 seconds, until all the fruit is smooth, and your microgreen smoothie is ready!
Notes
Swapping Fruits: You can use any type of fruit you tolerate to make microgreens smoothies, but if you want to swap out the blackberries for anything, I reccomend another berry, and for the apple I'd use another mild fruit like a pear.
Alternate Milk: This micro green smoothie goes well with oat milk, almond milk, or water, all of which can be frozen into ice cubes and blended for an even frostier smoothie (especially if not using frozen fruit).
Freezing & Storing: if you're not eating low histamine, you can refrigerate this smoothie with microgreens for up to 72 hours, though after about two days it may become a bit soggy and the textural blackberry seeds will soften. For a freezer smoothie, you can keep this frozen for up to 3 months without losing nutritional value.
Which Microgreens to Use?: I prefer to use a rainbow mix of microgreens in a smoothie, but pea, broccoli, or radish microgreens would also pair very well with these flavors.
