Eat A Chiquita

A banana, spinach, cinnamon and avocado smoothie recipe? We were expecting all fruit smoothies when we launched the Chiquita Banana Organic Smoothie Recipe Contest, but Nisha’s unique entry opened our eyes to the nutrition-packed world of vegetable smoothie recipes. Fruit and veggie lovers alike should try out this creative concoction that is sure to taste great.

I was thrilled to see the contest for the Organic Smoothie just a few hours before the deadline! My Cinnamon Roll Green Smoothie Recipe has been in the works for years as I've experimented with various weight-loss breakfast recipes and smoothies in particular. This is a recipe I make frequently for friends and family and they all love it. I'm confident your family will enjoy it too! You can find more of my smoothie recipes at HealthyMomsKitchen.com. Thanks Chiquita for sponsoring a fun contest!

Thanks to Nisha for opening our eyes to this banana & spinach smoothie recipe. We know a certain spinach-obsessed sailor would be excited to see his favorite legume featured in one of Chiquita’s Organic Smoothie Contest winning entries and we hope you are too.
