I may be late to the game, but I just tried my first spinach smoothie last month. Weren’t spinach smoothies a “thing” in the blogging world like two years ago? Whatever.
I tried it, I adapted it, I got hooked and now I want to share my go-to, post-workout recovery smoothie with you. Let’s blend this bad boy up.
Spinach, Berry, Banana, Protein Smoothie
Ingredients
2 C. fresh spinach
3/4 C. almond milk
1/2 C. frozen berries
1 banana
1 tbs. chia seeds
Protein Powder
Directions
1. This first step is important: blend your milk and spinach first. Get it nice and smoothe so you don’t get any spinach chunks.
2.Add the rest of the ingredients. Really, that’s it. (Note: If you use a frozen banana, you will need a bit more milk than when using a fresh banana.)
Six ingredients and two steps for a protein powerhouse smoothie. Yes, it may be scary looking, but just go with it. It’s delicious. Then, if you want to be super awesome put one of these to-go lids on your hipster mason jars.
What’s your favorite smoothie?
Ahhhh, neon green smoothie! It actually sounds pretty good though.
Can you taste the vanilla from the Perfect Fit protein powder?
I think you can subtly taste it, but not in the “oh my god there is protein powder in there – gross!” sort of way
LOVE spinach smoothies! My fav is one that was inspired by a Carrots N Cake smoothie that she calls a gingerbread smoothie. I use fresh spinach, frozen banana, raw almond butter, almond milk, vanilla whey protein, cinnamon, nutmeg and Healthforce Nutritionals Maca Force Vanilla Spice (which tastes like ginger). Such a delicious breakfast!
mm looks good! I was starting to have smoothies every day with my Magic Bullet but we just got a juicer and Now Im obsessed with green juice!
