Ingredients

All you need to make the recipe is five simple ingredients plus ice.

Frozen strawberries add sweetness and texture. If you only have fresh strawberries, you can freeze them first or add more ice.
Baby spinach adds volume and fiber. Fresh raw spinach is preferred but frozen spinach can be used if that's all you have. Don't worry, you shouldn't taste spinach in your smoothie.
Greek yogurt contributes protein to the mix while helping blend it all together seamlessly.
Unsweetened almond milk is a great plant-based alternative to dairy milks for those who are lactose intolerant or vegan diets.
Honey brings out the natural flavor of the other ingredients without overpowering them. Agave or maple syrup is a great vegan substitute.
Ice is an important ingredient in smoothies because it helps to create a thick, creamy texture. It also cools the drink down and makes it more refreshing.

Variations

Here are some tips to help you switch things up and make your strawberry spinach smoothie healthier. You can add chia seeds or ground flaxseed to give it an extra boost of protein and fiber.

For additional sweetness, try adding fresh or frozen pineapple for a strawberry pineapple smoothie. Or, add a strawberry simple syrup as a sweetener and flavor booster.

You can also combine different fruits together like orange slices and raspberries, blueberries and blackberries, or apples and pears.

Tips

For an extra boost of flavor, add some frozen banana slices to the blender before blending all the ingredients together. The banana will add natural sweetness and texture to the strawberry banana spinach smoothie without adding any extra sugar.

Add a pinch of ground cinnamon for a little spice.
Blend using the pulse. Pulsing your blender is important when making a smoothie because it helps to break down the ingredients into small pieces. This makes it easier for the blades to blend everything together, resulting in a smooth and even consistency.
