Hi! This smoothie was the start to my diet to fight cancer. I was only stage one of a non aggressive cancer, thankfully! Once diagnosed, I began paying more attention to what I was eating and how I managed my diet and overall health. These smoothies helped me recover from my surgery and have a new beginning. Since I signed up with you and your recipes, I have had some amazing life changing results. Thank you for all your inspiration!!
3 things I love about this: 1) The timer. No guess-work and very simple! 2) You can place everything inside all at once. Not piecemeal. 3) And finally, the durability. It just looks and sounds solid. Thank you for the opportunity.
Thank you so much! Yes, this Beginner's Luck is delicious. This is particularly great for someone who is just starting to drink green smoothies because it has a pleasant taste, not too sweet and just the right combination and the right choices of veggies and fruit, so a "beginner" is more likely to enjoy green smoothies., because it's so tasty. I sometimes replace mango for pineapple.
This is very small, but I love how you added little tips to help with the smoothie making: like the suggestions for people who don't like bananas (either substituting the banana for avocado or even just cutting down on the banana) and what it does for the recipe (makes it creamier) and also how you can add all ingredients if you have a high powered blender. Those small tips helped!
I hope this works for my cheap cheap blender lol I will be trying her tip of just blending the spinach and water first. Just hoping to find something that would be good to substitute for mango first.
I have been with you since you first began the green smoothie journey. I love your recipes and try them as often as I can. I am so proud of how far you have come and look forward to more recipes!!! You rock!
You are an original Rawstar----woohoo!!! I would love to know how many of us there are in the community. Would be cool to have a reunion to celebrate it all. Thanks for being a part of SGS Tracey.
I like how the Vitamix blends the greens and fruits, so smoothly. I especially like my green smoothies cold. So I usually freeze my fruit, so that I have a thick, creamy smoothie. Great for the summer time and keeping cool.
Great job! First got into green smoothies when my Mom was battling cancer. Now I am really trying to incorporate more into my own diet. Thanks for providing such great support
I love your energy and how you relate to your audience. You give us real feelings that many of us parents such as myself go through. Thank you for taking this on.
This video made my mouth water! I love your smoothies. My husband and son are picky eaters, but your smoothies help me get them some nutrition. My son, now 10, has been helping make them since your book first came out. This one and the fruit cocktail are two of his faves! Thank you for all that you are doing with this healthful journey! You have helped my little family and we love you and your family for it!
I watched the video about 10 times. I mastered it and make it here in East Harlem NYC. I also make beet juice and other healthy drinks. I salute your channel and keep motivating us. Peace and Love...
Hi Jen, I am so glad you continue to share your healthy smoothies to the world. SGS introduced me to green smoothies. I have been with SGS from the beginning. I have enjoyed every healthy recipe that you have shared. I also have your book. Continued BLESSINGS for SGS!!!!
This smoothie is what started my love for making smoothies! I like how you explained about blending the spinach first with a less powerful blender. For a long time I didn't know this and had pieces of spinach or kale in my smoothie. Once i doscovered this trick, it made a huge difference. Looking forward to more videos!
Hey Shauna, thanks for your comment!! :-) I think it's safe to say this smoothie is the hit for everyone. I am so glad that you found it helpful blending the spinach and water first! You can always make it work no matter what blender you have!
I’ve been using your recipes and your e-books and smoothie app for years! They are my go to recipes! I love that you are so genuine and humble in your videos. And real! I’m so tired of seeing fake makeup, drawn on eyebrows and fake lashes! You embrace natural beauty and it shows in your skin that plant based is good for the body and good for the soul! What I like about this video is it is simple, straight to the point and enticing in visuals and how you describe the smoothie and how you’ll be drinking it poolside. Your kitchen is adorable too!
Jen, you’re so cute! I don’t think you were awkward with your hands at all, I thought you were a natural on camera. Color me impressed! Thank you for introducing me to your 7 day smoothie challenge. You’ve changed my life by introducing me to healthy smoothies that don’t gross me out! Beginner’s is one of my favorites, my go-to.
Thanks Kimberlee!! We appreciate the encouragement so much. :-) SO happy that we can make a small impact on your day with these delicious smoothies! Happy blending!!!
I love these simple green smoothies!! I have been making these every morning for my husband, three boys, and grandmother for about 5 years now!! I think it is time to get your recipe book I have been doing the same smoothies for a while. I love that you are starting to do videos, it is always more fun to watch then just read. Your video turned out good, I do think that you will get more comfortable as you do more. I would be very interested in watching a video that I haven't been confident enough to try yet, maybe the warm Butternut Pear or WARM HAZELNUT HOT CHOCOLATE GREEN SMOOTHIE. Can't wait to see more of the videos!!!
@@jgilly3362 I'm never full having smoothie. Maybe because of portion size. I am not a big fan of that kind of breakfast so my size is max 250 ml which is a little more then a cup.
Summer is the best time to blend. The winter can get hard... yet I make myself stick with it. I'll do warm smoothies. smoothie bowls and even "soupies" in the winter to keep me going. Coconut water is the BEST addition after a workout. Thanks for sharing Laurie.
I gotta say that my favorite part of this recipe is the mangos!!! They are my favorite fruit and I always have some frozen in the freezer. This recipe is super simple and I can't wait to try it out. Thanks for sharing!
My favorite thing about this video is the advice you give to people who don’t have a high-powered blender. I didn’t realize that just blending my greens and the liquid would make my smoothie so much smoother im my $25 blender. It makes the world of difference. Beginners Luck is one of my favorite smoothies too! I use the SGS template everyday for my smoothies.
I'm so glad to see this video! Green smoothies have changed my health for the better! I used to be a picky eater (meat and potatoes mainly) - now, I'm a rawkstar! I would LOVE to have a Vitamix blender ! It looks like it really save a lot of time and is a lot easier to clean.
Hey Jen I'm one of the million people who made your Beginner's Luck Smoothie. Actually it was my very first green smoothie and is still my go-to. What I loved about the Vitamix Ascent Series Blender is that it's a one and done deal - you put everything in and in just a few quick seconds - ta-da! - it's done. Creamy perfection.
Awe thanks Michelle!!! I am so happy that you fell in love with green smoothies from our "Beginner's Luck" smoothie. The Vitamix really is so amazing and making smoothies is a breeze with it :-)
I love green smoothies & looking to try even more recipes! I like that the recipe is very easy whole ingredients!This vitamix blends so smooth & would be helpful to me in making my green smoothies in batches to go with my meal prep!
I love how you make everything seem easy and simple. It's great to see someone showing that it's super easy to make smoothies that are delicious, healthy, and filling. That amazing blender helps too! Keep making videos like this
I love your green smoothie recipes. Jadah Sellner gifted me the Simple Green Smoothies book - for being the first one to answer one of her questions. Since then I’ve been making your recipes and they’re amazing! No more boring or ridiculously bad tasting smoothies for me, I love that you incorporate tropical fruits that makes a whole difference in taste and texture. This is so great especially for kids - they love sweet stuffs and if they can get it from their smoothies - then everyone wins. My whole family enjoy Simple Green Smoothies!
Great video! It helped me understand the correct quantities of the different fruits and veg. I just hope I haven't woken up my neighbours with my blender. ^^
SO happy you enjoyed this video!! We love explaining every step of the smoothie making process :-) Maybe your neighbors will get on board after hearing you blending so much =P
I Love the Simple Green Smoothie girl! I have taken the 7 day challenge and found my go to daily smoothie recipes for years to come. The smoothie recipe book is awesome and now I will never tire of the same old thing every day. I look forward to eventually trying them all. Thanks!!
This smoothie is my base for all my smoothies!...I start with greens and coconut water and add the fruits in the recipe and if I am out of something or want to vary it up, I will add another fruit (like blueberries or strawberries)...Thanks for getting me started on healthy smoothies!
Love your video! I have done several green smoothie challenges with you! My first was a 30 day challenge but I couldn't wait and started early and stayed late, about 100 days! I was almost fully gray and a bunch of my brown hair grew back, like the fountain of youth! My inner strength improved and started selling solar with my new cofidence! I felt like I could do anything, even though I was obese! I already bought your book and will sign up for your 7 day challenge!. I tell people about your website all the time and would love to win the vita-mix blender! I have gone through 2 food processors and 2 blenders but could never afford the best! You have helped me live healthier and longer! Thank you and, again, love your video!
Simple Green Smoothies Thanj you so much! I just became unemployed but I am goibg to purchase the $35 meal planning opportunity. I had a tax id which I had not been using and am starting my own Urban Gardening company. I also have been trying to promote Green Spaces as I have promoted Simple Green Smoithies since you started. Now I see you are on Green Spaces website. I would like ti promote your Simple Green Smoothies, as well as doing a green smoithie every day, as well as promote Green Spaces and Aquaponics. I am going to be doing a green smoothie every day to give me the spirit to fight the good fight and not give up on myself. I did not believe in nyself until I did the irigibal green smoithy challenge. Not surprising that I was diing your 7 day challenge when I was let go. I was wounded for a couple days now I am full of fight and I know it was because I was doing green smoithies. I thank you for heloibg me to be successful in my life and woukd like to represent you in my company! I am goibg to promote green smoothies, growing your own organic vegetables, being as self-sufficient and sustainable as possible. Thanks for saving my life and being there fir others!
I'm so are glad you're posting these videos! Thanks, Jen. You have such a wonderful way of encouraging and teaching us - you're so easy to watch. BTW: You are one of the women I have on my Encouragement Board - women who encourage me to live a healthy, faith-filled life. You are making a difference!
The key to the green (which I'm obsessed with) is using light fruits like pineapple, mango, peaches and grapes. Once you add berries you lose that gorgeous green color. Yet berries taste so good and have so many great benefits as well- so it just depends on the day. :)
I love how genuine you are, both off and on camera! This and several other easy, yummy recipes are what opened my eyes to a more healthy lifestyle. Thank you for starting SGS with the 7 day challenges when you did!
I want more of these videos! You are so warm and delightful on screen! Love this smoothie recipe! I happen to have the ingredients and will make it for a tropical breakfast vacation today! Great tip to blend the greens and water first.
Loved it! Your recipes are the best! My favorite part are the explanation of how to substitute ingredients (banana/avocado), and the recommendation of blending your greens first. Sometimes, my lack of imagination gets the best out of me, but thanks God you’re a good reference to go to and get back on track! Thank you for sharing✨
Yummo! This recipe was so good and you hit the nail on the head when you said it was a tropical party up in here! I loved the freshness (even with frozen fruit) and the simplicity of this recipe. No weird powders or potions... just mother nature's goodness!
The video is awesome! Not having to "pre-blend" my greens and water would be a dream come true! I am thankful for my "Old Faithful", but your blender gets it all smooth and perfect at the same time--it's like the Chuck Norris of blenders!! Keep the videos coming!
I have not been sick once this year despite all the sickness around me. I credit my daily green smoothie & SGS! Love that this blender only takes 50 seconds! My blender is on it’s way out so it takes me 2 rounds of 2 mins to get a drinkable texture. Keep up with the videos! 🤗
I’m one of those million people who have blended this smoothie! Such a great recipe to get started on healthier living and getting more nutrients! 💚 Great job on the video, Jen! We love SGS!!
I love that you have substitutions for those that might not like Bananas AND instructions for those who don't have a high-powered blender! Makes smoothie making accessible to all!!
I loved your video! Beginner’s Luck is my favorite SGS recipe, and I return to it time after time. I think the best part of the video is showing people how easy it is to make a daily green smoothie that will nourish you. If it’s not easy, people won’t do it!
I have been following simple great recipes for over 2 years .after few months of following and implementing I have seen lot of changes in my body such as glowing skin, energy improvement and full of nutrients, din’t not gained weight much (good for me) and mind you no need to sacrifice on the tastes! These are yum!!!😋😋
I found y'all about 3 years ago and have been smoothie-ing since! The Beginner's luck is one of my faves! I also throw a little chia seeds into mine to keep me full until lunchtime! I'm a teacher and I credit the healthfulness of this daily smoothie for keeping away the germs I fight during my school day with kids! No flu, no strep, no illness all last year! The benefits of adding this to my daily regimen are amazing! Skin glowing, tummy happy!! Thank you for opening up the green smoothie world to me!
I discover u 2 years ago I've been drinking your green drink smoothies for that long I can't believe it's been this long but let me tell you you did amazing on this video you look so relaxed and i can't wait to the next one!
Thank you Jen and Simple Green Smoothie for a great recipe! This is one of my favorite green smoothies! I have my 85 year young mother staying for the summer and we have this green smoothie, or one like it every day! Love it... Keep up the good work, great video!
I love your comment about it smelling like a "tropical party!" This was the first green smoothie that I made and I loved it, as did my 2 year-old son! We have gotten more adventurous over time, but this recipe was the beginning of my health journey! Thank you so much for sharing your recipes and passion!
I really love the tip on measuring the spinach by handfuls & LOVE the beautiful bright green color of this finished smoothie:). Thank you for this helpful instruction...GREAT JOB!!!
Loved this video because it's so easy to follow the instructions with not to many ingredients. I'm a smoothie beginner will definitely try this recipe.
I love this recipe...I tried it many years ago answered used a Magic Bullet at the time. The tip of blending the liquid with the greens was extremely helpful with the magic bullet and the nutribullet. I look forward to the day I have a high powered blender so I can dump and blend all ingredients at once. Thanks for sharing this in video form. I'm a visual learner and watchimg this in action takes out any guesswork!
I have been drinking your smoothies since 2013 and this recipe is still my go to recipe! When I get others to drink green smoothies this is the recipe I share always. I want to come work for you! So awesome!
Wow looks delicious! I love the simplicity of all your recipes , I subscribed to your website years ago and still make your smoothies to this day. I love that I can get my daily dose of green veg in and it still taste delicious. Beginners luck is my go to and I always get asked what's in it , when I decide to share lol .
You are very natural in front of the camera! You are able to get across the basics of making this smoothie in a short period of time. Timing is so important in doing something like this. You offered many easy and quick tips, especially for those just starting making delicious smoothies! I would have added that freezing bananas also helps in thickening the smoothie and making it extra cold which I really like! Great job Jen!
Great video - you're a natural! I love that you include the ingredients on the video and in the write up - and that you gave a helpful hint about blending the spinach and the water first if you don't have a powerful blender. Keep the videos coming!
Jen, I loved the video! I especially like that you have a bowl of fruit on the counter from which you effortlessly grab a substitute for bananas and that you used your glass to measure the water. Such great little time saving tips! I have had "Beginner's Luck" many times and, of course, I love it!
This is one of my go to smoothies in your book. I always love the last of it and makes me feel like I'm on the beach. Love the tip how to measure the spinach. I'm never too sure if I'm adding enough greens.
The Beginner's Luck Smoothie is what got me into green smoothies over 2 years ago! I forgot how much I love it and I'm off to make one for myself now. I love that this Vitamix has a smoothie function. Takes care of the guess work! My favorite part is that you showed your family and how they are a part of this. I'd love to get mine into it too!
We have beginner's luck at least twice a week in our house. It's also the one I make when I introduce new people to the wonderful benefits of having a green smoothie every day. I would love to see more videos. Simple plant based dinners or lunches to take to work would be great! Thanks for showing us how easy and yummy it is to add healthy foods to our daily lives.
Beginners Luck is one of my all time favorite green smoothies. I make sure my water is icy cold when I make mine. Yummers! Thanks Jen. You are a true rawkstar!
I have tried some of your smoothies and My boys and I have really enjoyed them. I also appreciate the suggestions and alternatives offered. 👍🏼 Thanks for the tips.
I started making smoothies with this smoothie about three years ago and still have smoothies five days a week since then! Great video and reminds me I have to go back and try it again! Definitely right about the blending spinach and liquids first for low powered blender- still comes out great!
Loved the fact that you used water. Out of pure habit, I always add a nut milk to mine. It makes it creamy, but it looks like with the extra banana, water would do just fine in its place. Great tip to blend the greens and water/ liquid before adding other ingredients. I find that with my blender, this is typically necessary to avoid the greens-clumps!
Great video! Thank you for sharing this smoothie with the world. My four year old and I LOVE this recipe. It's sweet and energizing a great way to start you day!
I’ve been making this smoothie for quite a while now and I’ve loved it. Today I tried it with a tablespoon of almond butter mixed in and let me tell you it’s even better now!!!
I love how you explain how to measure greens, because that's something that has always been tricky. I also like how you say the order that it is best to put the ingredients in.
Did you enjoy this smoothie recipe? Let us know if you want more delicious smoothie recipe videos by leaving a comment.
Simple Green Smoothies Thank you. This is a great video and it's good to know there is a substitute for bananas which I have a sensitivity to.
I enjoyed watching you make the green smoothie, love your book and have tried many recipes. Thanks for all your hard work.
Can't wait to try this recipe! It looks amazingly delicious! I want to win the Vitamix soooooo bad!!
This is a great smoothie everyone will enjoy! I love it! Thank you Jen! :-)
It's delicicious

this is my favorite green smoothie I add 1 tsp of spirulina and chia powder. I lost 20 pounds doing this for breakfast! :)
That is amazing Jolene! 20lbs!?!?! You are a rawkstar!!!
Did you workout?
Wow good job!
20 pounds in how long?
How long did it take to lose those 20 pounds

Thank you so much! Yes, this Beginner's Luck is delicious. This is particularly great for someone who is just starting to drink green smoothies because it has a pleasant taste, not too sweet and just the right combination and the right choices of veggies and fruit, so a "beginner" is more likely to enjoy green smoothies., because it's so tasty. I sometimes replace mango for pineapple.
Thank you for this recipe. Just made it and it tastes just like it came from a smoothie shop. Had to sub mango for apple but still tasted fabulous 😋
Yayy!! So glad this one turned out great for you! Apple is great in this one, and superrr filling!
This is very small, but I love how you added little tips to help with the smoothie making: like the suggestions for people who don't like bananas (either substituting the banana for avocado or even just cutting down on the banana) and what it does for the recipe (makes it creamier) and also how you can add all ingredients if you have a high powered blender. Those small tips helped!
I hope this works for my cheap cheap blender lol I will be trying her tip of just blending the spinach and water first. Just hoping to find something that would be good to substitute for mango first.

You have helped my little family and we love you and your family for it!
Definitely going to try this recipe! I hope that tip about blending just the leaves and water first will help my ninja with creaminess.
Jen is the BEST! She breaks it all down and makes it so simple.
I watched the video about 10 times. I mastered it and make it here in East Harlem NYC. I also make beet juice and other healthy drinks. I salute your channel and keep motivating us. Peace and Love...

I love smoothies in the morning they are such a great way to start the day.
How can it be enough for breakfast?
@@kucibaba believe me healthy smoothies pack enough for breakfast it's all nutrition aswel and in some cases more filling than a fat takeaway

Sorry for spelling errors, would not let me correct, phone smaller than my fingers!
I'm so are glad you're posting these videos! Thanks, Jen. You have such a wonderful way of encouraging and teaching us - you're so easy to watch. BTW: You are one of the women I have on my Encouragement Board - women who encourage me to live a healthy, faith-filled life. You are making a difference!
That means so much! I really appreciate that and all the love! ❤
Your use of visuals and your high energy makes me feel like I can makes this, too!!!
You can Taryn, go for it and let us know what you think. Thanks!!
This video is terrific. Simple, concise, and you don’t waste any time getting the information to us! Very useable! Thanks so much for all you do!
Your smoothies are so bright green!!! I love the time warp! I can't wait to try this in my tired old blender...pick me for the giveaway!!!
The key to the green (which I'm obsessed with) is using light fruits like pineapple, mango, peaches and grapes. Once you add berries you lose that gorgeous green color. Yet berries taste so good and have so many great benefits as well- so it just depends on the day. :)
Simple Green Smoothies A-ha! Thanks! I do love berries too. But I’ll try this trick!
I love how genuine you are, both off and on camera! This and several other easy, yummy recipes are what opened my eyes to a more healthy lifestyle. Thank you for starting SGS with the 7 day challenges when you did!
So easy even a husband can make it. Two thumbs up!
Haha awesome, Alex! Happy blending! 😁
I want more of these videos! You are so warm and delightful on screen! Love this smoothie recipe! I happen to have the ingredients and will make it for a tropical breakfast vacation today! Great tip to blend the greens and water first.
Loved it! Your recipes are the best! My favorite part are the explanation of how to substitute ingredients (banana/avocado), and the recommendation of blending your greens first. Sometimes, my lack of imagination gets the best out of me, but thanks God you’re a good reference to go to and get back on track! Thank you for sharing✨
Yummo! This recipe was so good and you hit the nail on the head when you said it was a tropical party up in here! I loved the freshness (even with frozen fruit) and the simplicity of this recipe. No weird powders or potions... just mother nature's goodness!
The video is awesome! Not having to "pre-blend" my greens and water would be a dream come true! I am thankful for my "Old Faithful", but your blender gets it all smooth and perfect at the same time--it's like the Chuck Norris of blenders!! Keep the videos coming!
Best comment so far! You just made my night with the Chuck Norris. Thanks for the encouragement Nanette!
I have not been sick once this year despite all the sickness around me. I credit my daily green smoothie & SGS! Love that this blender only takes 50 seconds! My blender is on it’s way out so it takes me 2 rounds of 2 mins to get a drinkable texture. Keep up with the videos! 🤗
I’m one of those million people who have blended this smoothie! Such a great recipe to get started on healthier living and getting more nutrients! 💚
Great job on the video, Jen! We love SGS!!
I love that you have substitutions for those that might not like Bananas AND instructions for those who don't have a high-powered blender! Makes smoothie making accessible to all!!
I really enjoyed this video,. I have started making & drinking some of your smoothies & really enjoy them. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Awesome Barbara!! Glad you are enjoying your smoothies :-)
One of my favorite "go to" recipes. I have been following your programs and using your recipes for over a year and I feel great.
I loved your video! Beginner’s Luck is my favorite SGS recipe, and I return to it time after time. I think the best part of the video is showing people how easy it is to make a daily green smoothie that will nourish you. If it’s not easy, people won’t do it!
I have been following simple great recipes for over 2 years .after few months of following and implementing I have seen lot of changes in my body such as glowing skin, energy improvement and full of nutrients, din’t not gained weight much (good for me) and mind you no need to sacrifice on the tastes! These are yum!!!😋😋
I found y'all about 3 years ago and have been smoothie-ing since! The Beginner's luck is one of my faves! I also throw a little chia seeds into mine to keep me full until lunchtime! I'm a teacher and I credit the healthfulness of this daily smoothie for keeping away the germs I fight during my school day with kids! No flu, no strep, no illness all last year! The benefits of adding this to my daily regimen are amazing! Skin glowing, tummy happy!! Thank you for opening up the green smoothie world to me!
Thanks for sharing that with us Molly!
I discover u 2 years ago I've been drinking your green drink smoothies for that long I can't believe it's been this long but let me tell you you did amazing on this video you look so relaxed and i can't wait to the next one!
Wow! Thanks for saying that! I feel to hot and strange when I do these videos. Your encouragement is gonna keep me going!
I love that you are doing smoothie recipe videos. I like the way you show how easy making a good smoothie is. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Beverly! I love being able to reach so many people this way.
I love the timer feature on this blender...and the power! I also love beginners luck recipe! It's my favorite go to.
Thank you for sharing. I liked being able to see how you actually made the smoothie. Looks delicious. Looks like a great blender!
Thank you Jen and Simple Green Smoothie for a great recipe! This is one of my favorite green smoothies! I have my 85 year young mother staying for the summer and we have this green smoothie, or one like it every day! Love it... Keep up the good work, great video!
I love your comment about it smelling like a "tropical party!" This was the first green smoothie that I made and I loved it, as did my 2 year-old son! We have gotten more adventurous over time, but this recipe was the beginning of my health journey! Thank you so much for sharing your recipes and passion!
I really love the tip on measuring the spinach by handfuls & LOVE the beautiful bright green color of this finished smoothie:). Thank you for this helpful instruction...GREAT JOB!!!
Loved this video because it's so easy to follow the instructions with not to many ingredients. I'm a smoothie beginner will definitely try this recipe.
Glad you enjoyed it! Let us know how you liked the smoothie.
Thank you for the tip on measuring the spinach. This looks delicious!
I like the tip about blending the greens with water first. Helps get a better creamy consistency..that is always where I fall short.
I love this recipe...I tried it many years ago answered used a Magic Bullet at the time. The tip of blending the liquid with the greens was extremely helpful with the magic bullet and the nutribullet. I look forward to the day I have a high powered blender so I can dump and blend all ingredients at once. Thanks for sharing this in video form. I'm a visual learner and watchimg this in action takes out any guesswork!
I love how simple the recipe was and the fact that it was water based! Thank you for sharing and encouraging us to live healthier lives!
You are welcome Dajah!! Eating healthy really is this simple and we want to share that with the world.
You're doing a great job! Thanks!
I’ve made this smoothie before and it’s so delicious. The mango makes all the difference. I highly recommend simple green smoothie recipe book!
Great video, like the suggestions for substitutes & always simplicity of the recipes.
This green smoothie looks amazing. Look forward to making one today as I lounge by the pool. Thank you for sharing
I think you did great. Thank you for sharing. I love that the video wasn't too long, perfect amount of time for busy people
The video was great I love that the blender blend everything all at once you don't have to pre blend the greens. You did a great job
I have been drinking your smoothies since 2013 and this recipe is still my go to recipe! When I get others to drink green smoothies this is the recipe I share always. I want to come work for you! So awesome!
Great video! Very simple recipe. Delicious smoothie! All your smoothies in your book have been delicious.
Wow looks delicious! I love the simplicity of all your recipes , I subscribed to your website years ago and still make your smoothies to this day. I love that I can get my daily dose of green veg in and it still taste delicious. Beginners luck is my go to and I always get asked what's in it , when I decide to share lol .
Thanks for sharing. I love that you've been a rawkstar for so long!!! Appreciate you hanging around and being a part of the community!
You are very natural in front of the camera! You are able to get across the basics of making this smoothie in a short period of time. Timing is so important in doing something like this. You offered many easy and quick tips, especially for those just starting making delicious smoothies! I would have added that freezing bananas also helps in thickening the smoothie and making it extra cold which I really like! Great job Jen!
Oh looks so refreshing. Can’t wait to buy ingredients and try Jen
Thank you for sharing
Great video - you're a natural! I love that you include the ingredients on the video and in the write up - and that you gave a helpful hint about blending the spinach and the water first if you don't have a powerful blender. Keep the videos coming!
Jen, I loved the video! I especially like that you have a bowl of fruit on the counter from which you effortlessly grab a substitute for bananas and that you used your glass to measure the water. Such great little time saving tips! I have had "Beginner's Luck" many times and, of course, I love it!
Such a simple recipe and it's so delicious. Thanks for sharing!
The recipe that started it for me! Great recipe and great video. Thanks for taking an interest in us on our journeys and for cheering us along.
Your smoothies are always delicious. You have made me love them! I love that you just threw it all in together and blended. Easy-peasy!
This is one of my go to smoothies in your book. I always love the last of it and makes me feel like I'm on the beach. Love the tip how to measure the spinach. I'm never too sure if I'm adding enough greens.
Thanks for showing how to easily measure the greens-and LOVE the Vitamix!
I agree this was the beginning for me and I've shared with many others. Thanks for doing what you do Jen!
The Beginner's Luck Smoothie is what got me into green smoothies over 2 years ago! I forgot how much I love it and I'm off to make one for myself now. I love that this Vitamix has a smoothie function. Takes care of the guess work! My favorite part is that you showed your family and how they are a part of this. I'd love to get mine into it too!
We have beginner's luck at least twice a week in our house. It's also the one I make when I introduce new people to the wonderful benefits of having a green smoothie every day. I would love to see more videos. Simple plant based dinners or lunches to take to work would be great! Thanks for showing us how easy and yummy it is to add healthy foods to our daily lives.
Yummy...I enjoyed the video. I love the Beginner's Luck and the blender.
I love both of them too! 😀
Beginners Luck is one of my all time favorite green smoothies. I make sure my water is icy cold when I make mine. Yummers! Thanks Jen. You are a true rawkstar!
I have tried some of your smoothies and My boys and I have really enjoyed them. I also appreciate the suggestions and alternatives offered. 👍🏼 Thanks for the tips.
I started making smoothies with this smoothie about three years ago and still have smoothies five days a week since then! Great video and reminds me I have to go back and try it again! Definitely right about the blending spinach and liquids first for low powered blender- still comes out great!
I love how bright green the smoothies are...so delish.
Lareecia, I know right so refreshing and the smell is wonderful. Thanks.
Loved the fact that you used water. Out of pure habit, I always add a nut milk to mine. It makes it creamy, but it looks like with the extra banana, water would do just fine in its place. Great tip to blend the greens and water/ liquid before adding other ingredients. I find that with my blender, this is typically necessary to avoid the greens-clumps!
Great video! Thank you for sharing this smoothie with the world. My four year old and I LOVE this recipe. It's sweet and energizing a great way to start you day!
Love all your recipes. Just bought your book and trying one by one. Thank you !
Loved the menu bar on the right side! Super helpful.
I’ve been making this smoothie for quite a while now and I’ve loved it. Today I tried it with a tablespoon of almond butter mixed in and let me tell you it’s even better now!!!
Awesome!!
I love this smoothie recipe! I've tried many other yummy Simple Green Smoothies recipes, too. Thanks for the demo!
I love, love, love mangos! They add such great natural sweetness to smoothies!
I love how you explain how to measure greens, because that's something that has always been tricky. I also like how you say the order that it is best to put the ingredients in.
