Instructions

  • In the bottom of a blender, add water, banana, spinach, avocado, and protein powder or Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth. Taste and add honey if desired.

Notes

  1. Spinach: To take your spinach over the top, substitute a 10-ounce block of frozen spinach, thawed, for the 2 cups fresh. It’s intense but amazing!
  2. Protein powder: Use either your favorite vanilla protein powder or ½ cup Greek yogurt.
  3. Honey: Taste the smoothie before adding any sweeteners, then start with a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup. If you use a vanilla-flavored protein powder, you probably won’t need anything.
  4. Yield: This recipe makes about 2 cups of smoothie, enough for 1 serving.
  5. Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Some separation may occur, so shake or stir to combine before enjoying.
