Everyday Smoothie
Seriously delicious and full of fruits and veggies. We have this smoothie almost everyday!
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/Tips
- 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.
- 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.
