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.

Instructions

This spinach smoothie is easy to make and comes together in no time. Blend all ingredients until smooth, and add more almond milk if needed to thin it out.

After all the ingredients have been added to the blender, pulse until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, additional almond milk can be added until you reach your desired consistency.

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. Or, try making a cucumber juice recipe to blend in.

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.
• To make it even more special, sprinkle some chia seeds or hemp hearts on top for added nutrition-plus they look great too!
• 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.
