Autumn Recipes from The Green Smoothie Bible

“Autumn is my favorite time of the year, especially when there’s often a glut of end-of-season summer produce like strawberries and peaches, while new season fruits like apples and pears make a long-awaited return,” says Kristine Miles, author of The Green Smoothie Bible. Celebrate this colorful season with some of her delicious green smoothies below!

Recipe 1

• 2 kiwifruit
• ½ avocado
• 2 oranges, peeled
• 1 ½ cups water
• Mint (See tip below)

Recipe 2

• 2 bananas
• 4 passion fruit
• 1 orange, peeled
• 1 ½ cups water
• Greens (See tip below)

Tip: If you’re new to green smoothies, Miles recommends that only 10 percent of your smoothie be greens (spinach is a good beginner’s green because of its mild flavor) and gradually increase them to 40 percent as you grow accustomed to the flavor.

Of the 300 available recipes in The Green Smoothie Bible, we will feature nine of Kristine Miles’ seasonal recipes (three in summer and two more in winter and two in spring). Try one or all and share your green smoothie adventures in the comments below.
