Making smoothies with a beautiful green color can be tricky sometimes as certain fruit and vegetables could make your smoothie look brown and unappealing. For example, if you mix any red fruit or vegetables with green ones your smoothies will turn brown for sure. Yellow fruit such as bananas, pineapple or mango mix well with green ingredients and will give your smoothie a vibrant green color.

It has a delicious sweet taste from the apple and banana a wonderful creamy consistency from the avocado and yogurt. And not to mention the health benefits it has… a ton of dietary fiber, vitamins, iron and protein. Really, healthy eating has never tasted so good!
