Berries are naturally sweet immunity boosters, low-calorie, and full of antioxidants. Kiwi is packed with vitamin C and an amazing fat-burning citrus fruit. We always keep several bags of frozen berries in the freezer— which is perfect for this recipe.

Hi I just want to know it 24oz is to big of a serving I am using the smoothie in place of breakfast also do you have to use a protein powder when you replace a meal and if so how much
Our average recommendation is 16 oz per serving. You can definitely go more than that if you would like, though, especially if you are replacing meals!
! love it!
I’m looking future to trying out more of your smoothies so wish me luck guys ..
I Love to learn more about your healthy green smoothies and how to blend in to with real healthy foods on the weekends and at parties.
My sweet boyfriend went out looking for chia seeds for me but he bought the powder instead of the seeds!! Can I still use it in the smoothie? Thanks!!
If it is chia seed powder than that is great, Saxann
Made this smoothie for breakfast this morning, and although I got some interesting looks in my morning meeting, it was delicious and filling! Love it!!!
I love when I get the looks!
have made this 2 days in a row for my lunch. it’s pretty filling and tastes good. i put in a bit of lemon juice or zest to brighten it up.
am hoping the Simple Green and this with a sensible dinner will keep me on a good road to weight loss and health.
Im allergic to avocados…any alternatives?
I just made this and poured a bunch of it into Popsicle molds to make “breakfast pops” for my son, but of course I had to pour some for myself – quality control of course. Delicious! I think my son will love it!
That’s awesome Amy! And yes— we always have to do a quality control check
Okay I’m about to go try this and I’m excited! Got my chia seeds for Trader Joe’s and I can’t wait to use it..
Hi Jen H,
What are chia seeds and where can i get them? If i can’t get them can i leave them out?
Hi there! Definitely check out this article: http://simplegreensmoothies.com/faqs
It’ll answer your questions, and then some. Cheers!
I just drank this in two sips! I didn’t even get to the couch (where I was going to enjoy it!!). Shawnna – it should be a deep purple with darker spots b/c of the berries.
This is a keeper! 
That’s hilarious! Glad you enjoyed it Crystal! Should we make it tomorrow when we do our Battle of the Blenders?
how many serves for these recipe?
How many calories does this have? Is this a meal replacement?
I followed the recipe but it came out a weird brownish-black color. What could I have done wrong?
I’m allergic to bananas and avocado!! HELP I would love to try this if I can substitute these 2 ingredients?? Thanks so much.
Hi Sandra. We recently shared this on Facebook because there are others who shared your same struggle:
“Got an allergy or an aversion to some fruits? Swap it out with a fruit that you love and adore. Can’t eat bananas? Switch it with more mango, an avocado, papaya, pear or an apple to sweeten it up. Can’t do pineapples? Double up another ingredient already in the smoothie. If something calls for 1 cup of something you just can’t eat, swap it with 1 cup of a fruit you can eat. The best part is playing mini-chef with your blender. Not one smoothie will please everybody, but I promise over the next 30 days you will find a recipe that is your go-to smoothie. It will be the one you make for your friends and family and make them a green smoothie lover too. So explore, experiment, and smile!”
Hope that helps!
THIS was de-LISH!!!
Glad you liked it Faith!
