This unbelievably refreshing kiwi spinach smoothie is my favorite breakfast or snack on a hot sunny day. It immediately cools you off and the balance of sweet and sour flavors is just perfect.
You might have noticed I’m a bit crazy about green smoothies. During the warmer part of the year, I hardly have anything else for breakfast (the occasional chia pudding or a healthy dessert-like breakfast being the only exceptions). They just fill you with so much energy and make you feel simply amazing.

It must be the insane amount of vitamins and minerals. And if you supercharge your green smoothie with some ground flax or chia seeds (aka extra omega-3s), you’ll be ready for whatever the day brings. It’s almost like some kind of nutritional magic.
This kiwi spinach smoothie is one of the most refreshing green smoothies, along with the mango orange green smoothie, and it’s a great smoothie alternative if you’re fed up with bananas. You can even throw some ice into the mix if you love your smoothies super thick and ice-cold.

Or if you just got home from the gym and NEED to cool off. Like NOW.

ABOUT
Hi, my name is Lucie. My mission is to show you that a healthy lifestyle can be a delicious and exciting journey – a WIN-WIN for your taste buds as well as your health.
WHAT IS WIN-WIN FOOD ALL ABOUT?
You want to eat healthy but you are afraid, it would require you to make too many sacrifices? Or you already eat clean but find it difficult at times?
WIN-WIN FOOD is here to show you how you can:
- prepare mouth-watering meals that are secretly good for you
- eat healthy without breaking the bank
- do without special cooking skills or expensive equipment
- make healthy & delicious dishes under 30 minutes
- and most importantly: have fun while at it
HOW IS WIN-WIN FOOD GOING TO HELP YOU DO THAT?
It is a popular belief that healthy food cannot be tasty. And that if you want to eat well, you have to sacrifice enormous amounts of time and money.
At WIN-WIN FOOD, I work hard to defy those misconceptions.
On this blog, you will find simple healthy recipes bursting with flavor, most of which can be prepared in less than 30 minutes. Each of these meals calls for clean, all-natural ingredients only and many of them are vegan, gluten-free and paleo-friendly.
And not just that. Besides recipes, you can read all about my favorite clean eating tips and tricks that will save you time, money and frustration and help you with orientation in the wild jungle of health and nutrition information.
ABOUT LUCIEI have been passionate about baking & cooking (and eating) since I can remember. Because of my struggle with weight during my teenage years,
I decided to use this passion to come up with ways to enjoy food and feel good about my body at the same time.
This personal challenge has not only allowed me to lose the extra pounds but also helped me realize that surprising people with delicious, secretly healthy food is my favorite thing to do. And what could be better than sharing the recipes and tips with all of you?
I currently live in Mannheim, Germany but I originally come from Prague, Czech Republic. Besides experimenting in the kitchen, I love traveling (pretty much anywhere), window-shopping for kitchen gadgets and watching The Big Bang Theory.
