August 20, 2023 • 3 min read | | | |  | | | How to make a green smoothie that actually tastes good | | Requiring very little prep time or culinary skill, smoothies are a hassle-free route to eating more plants. As this recipe shows us, it's also super easy to "hide" a serving of leafy greens in a blended drink without jeopardizing the flavor. | | Packed with minerals, vitamins, and fiber, leafy greens are linked to a long list of health benefits, including better metabolic health and a lower risk of colon cancer and cardiovascular disease. | | For an added bump in protein and texture, Rissetto adds peanut butter, protein powder, and flaxseed. And don't forget the banana for sweetness and a thicker consistency. | | Get the full recipe! |  | | People have been eating flaxseed for centuries. High in fiber, protein, and ALA (an omega-3 fatty acid), it's a ready-made nutrient boost waiting to be tossed into your next salad, stir-fry, or smoothie. Flaxseed is a cornucopia of vitamins and minerals, but it's especially rich in thiamine, copper, and manganese. | | More about flaxseed: | | | | | | | | What we're using | | "This handy blender (which comes with a plastic 3-cup measuring cup) is one of my most used (and beloved) appliances. It's so versatile. I use it to whip up smoothies, make sauces, and blend soups." "I have a small kitchen, and I really love that it doesn't take up as much counter space as a bulky blender (I store it in one of my drawers)." — Anne Arntson, Senior Copy Editor, Healthline | | Every product we recommend has gone through Healthline's vetting process.
