I’m a big smoothie person…because honestly, I’m not always feeling a major breakfast. So I can sip a smoothie while I get ready, to get my nutrition in, and make it taste good. No weird, chalky smoothies for this gal.
Buuuuuuut…I’ve been a dietitian for a long time, and I’ve met plenty of folks who want the nutrition benefits of a smoothie, but would rather eat solid food for breakfast. And this green apple smoothie is my solution.
It’s a mega green smoothie, but designed to be A) a snack or B) a drink you sip alongside your meal. It’s super simple, without protein or much fat, so you can get straight to the fruit and veg.
Drink this apple + zucchini smoothie as a mid-afternoon pick me up, or enjoy it with my chickpea scramble and sprouted grain toast for a yummy Saturday morning breakfast. It will help you crush your fruit + veg goals, and like it.

How to make a veggie-packed green apple smoothie that actually tastes good
One of my go-to moves is lemon in a green smoothie because you really need acid to help minimize any earthiness. But here, the granny smith apple adds both sweetness and a welcome hit of tart, which helps the green smoothie taste super fresh and drinkable (in case you’ve struggled with green smoothies in the past!).
No bananas, no yogurt…this green apple smoothie is alllllll about the fruit + veg
This green smoothie is gently sweet, without banana or added sweetener. And the light texture of the almond milk gives you much needed calcium – don’t forget about your bones! – without making things too thick.
Yes, you can eat raw zucchini! Blended, it has this silky, almost creamy texture but it’s still super light.
