Hello dear smoothie lovers! 🙋🏻

Today I want to share an amazingly healthy green smoothie with you: Chinese Cabbage and Spinach Green Smoothie. This is probably one of the most nutrient-rich smoothie recipes out there: Chinese cabbage, spinach, kiwifruit are all considered natural “superfoods”. In addition, the flaxseeds add a bunch of dietary fiber and Omega-3 fatty acids to the smoothie so it really becomes more of a meal rather than “just” a green smoothie.

Before I go to the recipe, I want to speak about Chinese cabbage. I recently realized that Chinese cabbage (napa cabbage) is extremely healthy. Apart from being rich in iron and calcium, Chinese cabbage also contains considerable amounts of vitamin C and vitamin A. Even better, research suggests that—along with other cruciferous vegetables—chinese cabbage reduces inflammation. So when I started looking for recipes, I was surprised not to find that many smoothie recipes with this healthy ingredient. Long story short, I decided to make my own Chinese cabbage smoothie – I hope you will like it  🙂

How to Make a Green Smoothie More Filling

If you have seen some of my smoothie recipes you might have noticed that I love using fillers to makes smoothies more nutrition-dense and satisfying. Sometimes I add superfoods like spirulina, acai berry powder or maca root powder to my smoothies but I personally prefer the old-fashioned flaxseed to any other exotic ingredient. A recommended daily serving of 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed adds 3 grams of dietary fiber to your diet. And a great thing is flaxseed doesn’t change the flavor of the smoothie so you can use it in basically any recipe.

If you run out of flaxseed in your pantry, I recommend trying organic ground flaxseed by Viva Naturals. This company uses a special cold-milling method to protect the Omega-3 fatty acids from being oxidized. In other words, you get the maximum nutritional benefits and longer shelf life (the flax seeds won’t get bitter very fast).

        Vyona, sorry for a delayed response. I am glad you loved this smoothie! I wouldn’t store the smoothie for more than one day in the fridge. It’s better to freeze it if you want to consume it later.
