Print Recipe

A quick, easy, and nutritious smoothie blending fresh spinach, frozen blueberries, protein powder, and Greek yogurt for a delicious and energizing breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (about 30g), packed but loosely measured
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries (about 150g)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (~30g)
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (120g), unsweetened
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240ml)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (15g), optional
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, optional
  • 2–3 ice cubes, optional

Instructions

  1. Measure ingredients: 1 cup fresh spinach, 1 cup frozen blueberries, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional), and 1 teaspoon honey (optional).
  2. Place spinach and frozen blueberries in the blender jar first to help blades reach leafy greens better.
  3. Add almond milk and Greek yogurt on top to help blades move freely for a smooth blend.
  4. Sprinkle in protein powder and chia seeds. Add honey if a sweeter smoothie is desired.
  5. Secure lid and blend on high for about 45-60 seconds, stopping to scrape down sides if needed for even consistency.
  6. If too thick, add a splash more almond milk. For colder and thicker smoothie, add 2-3 ice cubes and blend again for 15 seconds.
  7. Pour into a glass or travel bottle and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Use vanilla-flavored protein powder for best taste. Layer ingredients with frozen items at the bottom and softer ingredients on top for efficient blending. Blend twice if needed for smooth texture. Adjust sweetness last after tasting. Fresh blueberries can replace frozen but add ice cubes to keep cold. Substitute kale or mixed greens for spinach if desired. Store smoothie in airtight container in fridge up to 24 hours; shake before drinking.
