The biggest difference between a green smoothie and a fruit smoothie is what leads the flavor and ingredient mix. A green smoothie includes leafy greens such as kale or spinach, while a fruit smoothie is built primarily around fruit.
What is a green smoothie?
At Renew, Green Envy combines kale and spinach with apple, banana, orange, grape, pineapple and mango. Green Mile also starts with kale and spinach, then combines fruit with almond milk, almond butter and coconut water.
What is a fruit smoothie?
Fruit-forward options focus on fruit flavors without leafy greens leading the blend. Very Berry combines papaya juice, banana, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry and strawberry, while 7th Heaven combines guava juice, pineapple, mango, strawberry and banana.
Which tastes sweeter?
That depends on the recipe, but fruit-forward blends generally put fruit flavor at the center. Green smoothies can still taste sweet because fruit is often blended alongside the greens.
Which should you order?
Choose a green smoothie if you want leafy greens included in the blend. Choose a fruit smoothie if you want the fruit flavors to lead. For a fuller café order, pair your drink with a wrap, salad, breakfast item or other selection from the Renew Café Menu.
Ingredients and availability can change. Always review the current product listing and tell Renew about allergies or restrictions before ordering.
