Last week when I was still in sunny Sayulita, Mexico, my lazy morning would usually involve meandering into town, sometime before noon and picking up a Mexican Green Smoothie from my favorite street vendor.  Tropical, with a little spicy heat, it was tasty and energizing and I’ve been making versions of this ever since I got back….and daydreaming of ocean and sun. It helps.

Mexican Green Smoothie Ingredeints

Fragrant cilantro, silky avocado, crisp watery cucumber, fresh spicy jalapeño and kale, blended with orange, pineapple and lime juice – a powerhouse of nutrients, not to mention flavor.

I love the addition of cilantro and jalapeño in this smoothie and in Mexico they also added Nopales, an edible cactus, which I fell in love with, but have yet to find here.

Cilantro is detoxing to the body, helping it shed toxic heavy metals.

  1. This smoothie is delicious! I followed recipe to a T except I used spinach in lieu of Kale. Will definitely make again.






  2. I found this recipe while trying to recreate a fancy green drink I found at a local tea place.I’m really enjoying drinking my first attempt! I didn’t follow this recipe exactly – I omitted avocado as mine aren’t ripe and I just straight up forgot to add in the banana or cucumber – but this is definitely the basic formula for what I was looking for. I intentionally added a bit more greens and a little less fruit than in the above recipe, and next time I’m going to add even a little less orange & pineapple and throw in a bit more jalapeno. I’m looking forward to continuing to play with this recipe more!






  3. Fantastic! Followed the recipe to a “T” and I was not disappointed. Such a clean and refreshing smoothie. A great way to brighten up a cold winter’s morning. I did my own calorie calculation for this recipe and came up with roughly 450 calories for the batch (225 per serving). Makes this not only a delicious breakfast choice but a healthy one too.

    Can’t wait to make the Peruvian Seafood Stew with Cilantro Broth this evening. It is a Feasting at Home kinda day!!

    Thanks for all the great recipes and keep’em coming! Would love to see a cookbook from you soon!!






    1. Thank you so much! Glad you liked the smoothie and appreciate your kind words regarding the cookbook. Have a beautiful day!!
