Morphology
The meaning 'a blended drink made primarily from leafy green vegetables and fruit' is directly derivable from combining 'green' (indicating leafy green vegetables or the colour/ingredient) with 'smoothie' (a blended drink). This is a straightforward compositional pattern common across languages and contexts, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Green smoothie The compound green smoothie is named for the bright green drink you get when you blend leafy greens into a smoothie. Because this green drink is mainly vegetables and fruit, the phrase now means a 'healthy blended drink'.
