    How do you make the BEST Green Smoothie ever? Pack it full of ingredients you love! My BFF, Whole Foods Market Chef Hillori Hansen, wrote this incredible guide to creating the best green smoothies ever. I just had to share it with you! Hil’s favorite combination is listed below. I’d start there and then try out some others.  (I always use turmeric and basil, Hil prefers ginger and mint.)

    We call these green smoothies because they are thicker than traditional juice, but lots of folks add extra liquid when blending to make a more juice-like consistency. It’s up to you. Of course, we used gorgeous produce from Whole Foods Market. Would you expect anything else?
