Glow-Up Fuel for Any Day

Whether you’re kickstarting a morning, chasing an afternoon boost, or winding down with something light and nourishing — this smoothie’s got you.

The Garden Glow Smoothie is your go-to blend for feeling refreshed, hydrated, and ready to glow.

It’s everything you want in a green drink — vibrant, satisfying, and actually delicious — perfect as a dairy-free breakfast smoothie or mid-afternoon pick-me-up. And with a creamy boost from JOI plant milk concentrates, it’s as functional as it is flavorful.


Why You’ll Love This Smoothie

This easy vegan smoothie is light and bright, yet satisfying. The spinach and cucumber hydrate, the lemon and mint awaken, the chia seeds bring omega-3s and fiber — and the dates + apple make it naturally sweet.

Then comes the JOI. A spoonful of our Almond or Cashew or Oat plant milk concentrate adds richness, plant-based protein, and healthy fats — without the gums, inflammatory oils, or added junk found in store-bought milks.

How Easy Is It to Make?

Spoiler alert: incredibly easy. This smoothie is as simple as toss, blend, sip. No fancy tools, no long prep — just a blender and a few whole ingredients. It takes under five minutes to go from zero to glowing.

Thanks to JOI’s plant milk concentrates, there’s no need for refrigerated milk or extra trips to the store. Just scoop your favorite JOI concentrate, add water, and blend it all together for a creamy, dreamy, green machine of a smoothie.


Substitutions & Customizations

Want to make it your own? Here's how to mix things up:

  • Fruit swap: Try pear, pineapple, or mango instead of apple for a tropical twist.

  • Greens upgrade: No spinach? Use kale, chard, or even romaine.

  • Extra protein: Add a scoop of JOI Almond Protein Powder powder, JOI Hemp Concentrate, or Greek yogurt (if you do dairy).

  • Supercharge it: Boost with spirulina, matcha, or your favorite adaptogens.

  • Texture play: Throw in half a frozen banana for extra creaminess.

  • Top it off: Goji berries, cacao nibs, pumpkin seeds, or shredded coconut are all delicious add-ons.

Whether you like it bright and citrusy or rich and smoothie-bowl-worthy, this recipe is your green canvas. Let it work for you.

  • Creamy convenience: Scoop what you need, blend with water, and go.

  • Pantry-friendly: Shelf-stable and made to last.

  • Sustainable: Less packaging, less waste, and a smaller carbon footprint.

Your blender — and your gut — will thank you.
