1 cup (medium) of Green Drink (240 g) has 84 calories. That works out to 35 calories per 100 g. It contains 18 g of carbs, 2.9 g of protein, 0.5 g of fat and 3.8 g of fiber. Its 108 µg of Vitamin K covers 90% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 35 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Green Drink is a flexible blend of green vegetables and fruit, usually combined with water or another liquid. Its ingredients and preparation vary, so it may be smooth and thick or lighter in texture; it is commonly served chilled. The vivid colour and mild, fresh taste make it an easy way to enjoy produce in drink form.
Across English-speaking households, it is often chosen for breakfast or as a daytime snack, either homemade or bought ready to drink. It is mostly a fruit-and-vegetable drink, with little fat; it provides 35 calories per 100 g. For a more filling option, keep the pulp rather than straining it, or pair a glass with a source of protein such as yoghurt.

High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

A Green Drink is usually a blended mix of leafy greens, such as spinach or kale, with fruit and water. Recipes may also include cucumber, lemon, or ginger, so the flavor and texture vary rather than following one standard formula.
Blend washed leafy greens with fruit and a little water to make a Green Drink. Add water gradually to control the thickness, and use lemon or fresh ginger for a brighter flavor. Blending keeps the mixture thicker than straining it.
Add a small amount of sweet fruit, such as apple, pear, or orange, to soften a Green Drink’s bitter or grassy taste. Lemon can make the flavor fresher, while adding greens gradually helps keep them from overwhelming the drink.
A blender keeps the fruit and vegetable pulp in a Green Drink, making it thicker; a juicer separates out the pulp for a thinner drink. Choose a blender for a smoothie-like texture, or strain a blended drink if you prefer it smoother.
A Green Drink is best consumed the day it is made. If you need to keep it, refrigerate it promptly in a sealed container; its color and flavor can change, and the ingredients may separate, so shake it before drinking.
A Green Drink does not cause weight loss by itself. A vegetable-forward version without added sugar can replace a sugary drink, but using it to routinely skip meals may leave your diet short of important nutrients.
Yes, a Green Drink can raise blood sugar because fruit contains natural sugars; the effect depends on its ingredients and serving. Using more vegetables and less fruit reduces the sugar in the blend. If you have diabetes, ask your healthcare professional about portions.
No, a Green Drink does not detox your body in a special way. Your liver and kidneys already process and remove waste; the drink can be one way to consume vegetables and fruit, but claims that it flushes out toxins are not established.
Yes, most people can include a Green Drink daily as one way to eat vegetables and fruit. Vary the ingredients rather than relying on one blend, and remember that drinking it does not replace eating a range of whole foods.
No, a Green Drink alone may not make a filling, balanced breakfast. Pair it with a source of protein or fibre, such as eggs, yogurt, or whole-grain toast, especially if the drink is mostly fruit and vegetables.
