This is a creamy and frozen banana goodness! The raspberries add bit of sweetness and tang, and parsley makes this smoothie extra refreshing.
This is a review for the book 40 Days of Green Smoothies by Becky Striepe. In order to make my own opinion of the book, I got a digital copy of the eBook.
Becky Striepe’s new book 40 Days of Green Smoothies is a great collection of delicious smoothie recipes. Not only does it contain a new smoothie recipe for 40 days, but she also breaks the recipes down week by week, including tips and weekly shopping lists.
If you’ve always wanted to create a healthy smoothie habit but struggled along the way, this book will help you a lot with that! I mean how good does that strawberries & cream, pineapple parfait or chocolate covered raspberry smoothie sound?!
I have a not so secret obsession with parsley. In my opinion, parsley makes every meal better – I could literally sprinkle it on top of everything. So of course I was psyched when I saw that Becky Striepe’s new book contained 8!! smoothies with parsley. One of which I’ll include below: The Banana Berry Fresh Smoothie. This is the first time I made a smoothie with parsley, but I’m absolutely in love with it! This is definitely not the last time, I’ve put parsley into a smoothie :)
For the looks, I’ve added some freeze-dried raspberries on top. I’ve got a huge jar of various freeze-dried fruits (raspberries, strawberries, pears, apples and peaches) for Christmas. They are so delicious!
More rich, frozen banana goodness! The raspberries add bit of sweetness and tang, and parsley makes this smoothie extra refreshing.

Parsley!?! I am so very intrigued😱 So it must have like a sweet/savory thing going on then, sounds kind of similar to those green juices with herbs in them. What a neat idea, Becky is so creative. And I love the extra thick texture chia seeds always add :) I am going to have to try this for myself now, next time I buy a bunch of parsley for a recipe and can never use it all up (which happens pretty much every time I buy parsley lol)
Yep, I didn’t think parsley in a smoothie would be such a good addition, but it is! It gives the smoothie such a fresh vibe :)
Hahaha parsley never goes bad on my watch, I sprinkle it over pretty much every meal (my boyfriend often judges me for that).
I was just thinking about trying some new smoothie recipes. This one is interesting since I’ve never tried parsley in a smoothie (not even a juice). Thanks for sharing!
I was pleasantly surprised by the fresh taste of parsley in the smoothie! :)
I’m just trying to build a healthier habit and to drink more smoothies – so this book came just in time!
Wow, very good this recipe! It’s summer here in Brazil, I’m going to try it.
And yes, I also put parsley in my smoothies! :-D
Kisses
Fabiana, I’m so jealous! We’re having snow here, and I can’t wait for the summer!! I’m also now in the parsley-in-smoothies-fangroup :)
Thanks for posting this recipe. It looks and sounds yummy! I received a Nutribullet for Christmas. I am hoping this recipe can be made in that, rather than a full-size blender.
Yep, I’m certain of it that it works in the Nutribullet :)
Looks healthy and delicious
I have never heard of parsley in a smoothie but it sounds refreshing.
yep, refreshing sounds about right! It adds such a nice twist, especially on hot summer days :)
I love experimenting with ingredients while preparing smoothies, Bianca. Can’t wait to mix parsley in my next smoothie!
Yeay! Hope you like it, Agness! :)
I definitely need to try out more smoothies other than chocolate and banana 😂
I feel the same way! My go-to-smoothie is frozen bananas, cocoa powder and peanut butter :D not the healthiest!
Sounds like me haha
Can’t wait to try this! Sounds delicious!
