Meal Ideas: Smoothies

Springtime is finally here! The temperatures are slowly warming up, the days are getting longer, and spring plants are popping up all over. We're spending more time outdoors soaking up the sun. As we transition into spring and summer mode, we may not always be in the mood for a heavy meal. This means it's the smoothie's time to shine.

Smoothies are a great, delicious way to get a balanced nutritional intake in a small amount of time. At Eden Greens, we created a limited-release Smoothie Blend, which contains the micro greens most often used in smoothies. These are pea shoots, sunflowers, kale, and broccoli. This mild blend offers a smooth, fresh flavour and mixes well with all sorts of flavours. You can also use our Snack and Starter Blends for your concoctions. Try our Sunrise Smoothie recipe below, or create your own!
