Spinach Berry Smoothie
Servings: 1
This spinach berry smoothie is a simple way to get leafy greens without overpowering flavor. Frozen berries and oranges create natural sweetness, while water base keeps it light and hydrating.
Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 orange
- ⅓ cup strawberries frozen
- ⅓ cup blueberries frozen
- ½ banana
- 1 serving homemade protein powder optional
Instructions
- Pour the water into a blender. Add the spinach and orange and blend until smooth.
- Add the strawberries, blueberries, banana and protein powder, if using. Blend on high until smooth, 45 to 60 seconds, adding a splash more liquid if it's too thick. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- Orange Tip: Peel the orange before blending, or swap it for 1/2 cup pulpy orange juice.
- Greens Swap: Baby kale, romaine or any mild leafy green can replace the spinach.
- Milk Swaps: Unsweetened almond or oat milk in place of the water makes a creamier smoothie.
- Storing: Best fresh, but it keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours; shake before drinking. To prep ahead, portion the ingredients into frozen smoothie packs so a smoothie is always ready to blend.
