5 Daily Smoothie Recipes Using Microgreens

One of the most common questions we get: "How do I actually eat microgreens every day?"

The answer: smoothies. They're the easiest, most delicious way to consume your daily dose of microgreens without any prep, cooking, or cleanup beyond washing your blender.

Here are 5 recipes we've tested and love — each designed around a specific microgreen for targeted health benefits.

Recipe 1: The Green Detox (Broccoli Microgreens)

Best for: Morning reset, liver support, immune boost

Ingredients:

• 1 large handful broccoli microgreens (about 30g)
• 1 frozen banana
• 1 cup coconut water
• 1 inch fresh ginger
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 1 tsp spirulina (optional)
• Ice as needed

Method: Blend all ingredients until smooth. The banana neutralizes the slight bitterness of the broccoli microgreens while the lemon brightens everything.

Taste: Refreshing, slightly tangy, mildly earthy.

Method: Blend until creamy and smooth. Pour into a bowl and top with granola, fresh fruit, and extra sunflower microgreens.

Pro Tips for Microgreen Smoothies

• Always add a fruit first — the natural sweetness masks any vegetal notes
• Freeze your bananas — they create the perfect creamy base without needing ice cream
• Start with less microgreens — build up your tolerance gradually
• Don't heat — always blend raw to preserve enzymes and vitamins
• Drink immediately — nutrient levels begin declining after blending
