This healthy green smoothie couldn’t get anymore green with its mixture of cucumber, spinach, lime, kiwi and avocado. Pineapple and fruit juice give it a touch of sweetness and balance out the flavors so that you can get this one down without plugging the nose! If you like the spiciness of ginger, you can add a touch as well for some kick.
It’s vibrantly green like my apple smoothie but with its own distinct combination that includes multiple vegetables. I love blending up this smoothie when I’m feeling like a salad for breakfast but need something easier and quicker to make.
Ingredients
- orange juice – No sugar added. From concentrate is okay.
- lime juice – Freshly squeezed for best flavor.
- ginger – This is optional for some kick. I know some people don’t like the flavor so feel free to leave it out.
- kiwi – Make sure they are nice and ripe. They will be slightly soft.
- cucumber – With the skin on for extra fiber.
- spinach leaves – I like to use baby spinach leaves.
- frozen pineapple chunks – Store-bought pre-frozen pineapple chunks are cheaper but they might not be as sweet and ripe as home-frozen fruit.
- frozen avocado chunks – Buying pre-frozen avocado chunks saves on a lot of prep time.

As you can see, with all of the fruits and vegetables in this smoothie, it is a fiber powerhouse!

Recipe FAQs
My top three favorite greens to add to a smoothie are baby spinach, cucumber and avocado. The spinach and cucumber are mild in flavor and add hydration while the avocado adds creaminess.
When it comes to taste, I prefer to make green smoothies with water and add avocado for creaminess.
