Green Monster – Spinach Smoothie

Green Monster – Spinach Smoothie

Classic spinach smoothie. I find this a super easy way to get in a lot of vegetable and fruit servings.

Prep Time:

Total Time:
10 mins
Yield:
2 large smoothies
Servings:
2

Ingredients

  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 1 banana, broken into chunks
  • ½ cup frozen blueberries
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon water, or as desired (Optional)
  • 2 ice cubes, or as desired (Optional)

Directions

Step 1
Layer yogurt, banana, and blueberries in a blender, respectively. Add as much spinach to blender that will fit; pour in water. Blend on high speed until smooth, adding the remaining spinach if needed. Add ice for a colder and thicker smoothie. Add more water for a thinner smoothie.

Cook’s Notes:

I have tried frozen spinach – it adds an odd cooked taste – but is way cheaper and more convenient – so if you don't notice odd tastes, go for it.
