Green Smoothies That Don't Taste Green at All

There’s nothing quite like the invigorating color of bright green smoothies. Just looking at the deep chlorophyll green makes you feel healthy. But looking at it reminds you of the taste of spinach or what you would imagine grass to taste like.

Actually, a brilliant green smoothie can taste amazing. Added flavors like spices, berries and tropical fruits can make a green smoothie taste divine. So below are several types of green smoothies that don’t taste green.

One of the easiest ways to make a smoothie not taste green is to add some mango. Mango is a strong tropical flavor that will make you think you’re sipping a tropical drink along the seaside. As an added fruity boost, the recipe also calls for lime juice, a banana and coconut water.
