This green smoothie recipe contains leafy green veggies, apple and avocado … all of which are proven to have cholesterol reducing benefits.
You can go a step further than this by adding chia seeds and spirulina powder into the smoothie too!
They won’t affect the taste a lot, but would really boost the health benefits of this beverage.
Ingredients
- 2 cups kale (if you’re a green smoothie newbie, substitute spinach for kale)

- ½ avocado
- ½ cup almond or coconut milk
Optional: 2 tbsp chia seeds and 1 tsp spirulina powder
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to the blender, preferably in the list order.
