green smoothie

Leafy vegetable beverage

A green smoothie is a blended drink made with leafy greens—typically spinach or kale—combined with fruits, liquid, and sometimes protein or supplements.

The green color comes from the vegetables, though fruit often dominates the flavor.

Associated with health-conscious eating: I start every morning with a green smoothie.
