Orange Spinach Banana Smoothie
Servings: 1 smoothie
This spinach banana smoothie is a healthy citrus gem. It's refreshing and filling all at once—making it a great meal replacement. This orange smoothie is also known as Orange Jewels from my best-selling recipe book, Simple Green Smoothies.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach
- ¾ cup coconut water
- ½ lemon peeled
- ½ banana
- 1 orange peeled
- 1 serving homemade protein powder optional
Instructions
- Peel and slice oranges to help blend easier.
- Blend spinach, coconut water and orange together until smooth.
- Add remaining ingredients and blend again.
Notes
- Use 1 frozen fruit for a refreshingly cool smoothie.
- If you prep your smoothie and freeze it ahead, add a bit more liquid when blending. The orange is liquid and fruit, so if frozen then more liquid will help it blend well.
- Swap in 1/4 an avocado for the banana to lower the natural sugar in this smoothie.
- Swap regular water in for coconut water.
- Leave the white pith on the orange and lemon for more nutrition.
- Swap spinach with the leafy greens of your choice.
