Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk use whatever kind you want--dairy or non-dairy!
  • 1 cup orange juice or you can use 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup OJ
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt he uses vanilla, but I like plain b/c less sugar
  • 4 cups spinach loosely packed
  • 1 banana a frozen banana makes it even creamier
  • 2 cups frozen blueberries or frozen berry blend
  • 2 cups frozen tropical fruit we use a mix of mango, pineapple and strawberries
  • Optional: 1-2 cups baby carrots adds more nutrition and is tasteless
  • Optional: 1-2 scoops protein powder

Instructions

  • Add milk, juice, yogurt, spinach and banana to a high-powered blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Add frozen fruit. Blend again until smooth. Enjoy!

Notes

  • A high-powered blender works best for this smoothie. We recommend the Vitamix Blender or this Ninja Blender.
  • Feel free to reduce the amount of juice, based on how sweet you like your smoothie. My husband uses less juice and more milk now days.
  • If you like the idea of frozen smoothie packs but don't have time, give SmoothieBox a try. I wrote a full review of this smoothie pack delivery service here.
  • Variations and Additions:
    • Dairy-Free Version: Use plain almond milk or oat milk and use dairy-free coconut yogurt like Daiya brand.
    • Use different fruit. Raspberries, strawberries, mango, pineapple, or oranges would be great additions.
    • Add more vegetables. Toss in a little kale, avocado, carrots, or raw sweet potato.
    • Add protein powder.
    • Add flaxseed. We love sneaking this into recipes. (Chocolate Banana Muffins or Many Overnight Oats Recipes, or Powerball Cookies for example).
  • Pair this smoothie with our 10-minute Spinach Frittata for a well-rounded breakfast or lunch.
