Print Recipe

A quick, easy, and healthy smoothie packed with spinach, banana, frozen berries, and Greek yogurt that provides a natural energy boost without feeling heavy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves (loosely packed)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, peeled
  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or oat/soy milk)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly to remove any grit. Peel the banana and measure out the frozen berries and other ingredients.
  2. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of almond milk into the blender first to help the blades move smoothly and prevent clumping.
  3. Add the spinach, banana, and frozen berries on top of the almond milk to help with even blending and prevent spinach from sticking to the blender sides.
  4. Spoon in ½ cup of Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon. Add 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if extra sweetness is desired.
  5. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chia seeds for extra fiber and nutrients (optional).
  6. Blend on low speed for 15 seconds, then increase to high for 30-45 seconds or until the mixture is creamy and no chunks remain. Add a splash more almond milk if too thick and blend again.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness with more honey or maple syrup if needed. Thin with 2-3 tablespoons of water or milk if too thick.
  8. Serve immediately in a glass or reusable smoothie cup.

Notes

Use frozen fruit to keep the smoothie thick and chilled without watering it down. Adding lemon juice last prevents spinach from turning olive green. Adjust sweetness to taste, and consider adding protein powder or nut butter for extra protein and richness. Store blended smoothie in fridge up to 24 hours and stir before drinking. Avoid freezing finished smoothie to maintain texture.
