Make this simple spinach smoothie for an instant energy boost. Each serving of this nutritious treat contains a variety of fruits and vegetables, including pineapple, bananas, and apples. Each drink has a nutrient-rich blend of protein, fibre, vitamins, and minerals.

The minerals and antioxidants magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron, vitamin C, and soluble fibre are abundant in spinach. Additionally, the leaves mild flavour makes it easy to include them in a green smoothie.

These additional components also improve the fibre content. Greek yoghurt and almond milk, among other ingredients, add protein, creaminess, and probiotics to each glass. A quick, easy, and pleasant drink that will keep you energised.





Which Spinach is best suited for Smoothie?

In contrast to my sauteed spinach dish, use the baby type because the leaves are incredibly tender, don't need any additional preparation, and have a very mild flavour. In addition, make little freezer packs for a smoothie recipe to use for meal preparation.

This makes it easy to grab the plastic bag with premeasured ingredients and blend. It works really well to add the fresh spinach leaves and freeze them along with the fruit. You won’t notice a taste change.

An extra boost of Fibre

This makes grabbing the plastic bag containing the premeasured materials and blending simple. The fresh spinach leaves added and frozen with the fruit work really well. You won't detect a difference in taste.

Use Frozen Fruit

A diced apple gives the smoothie soluble and insoluble fibres. Any apple variety is OK. In contrast to tart green, cultivars like Fuji, Red, or Gala have greater natural sweetness. The blended pulp also contributes to the smoothie's thickness.

In contrast to ice cubes, a benefit is that the fruit flavour doesn't wane as it melts. If you only have fresh fruit, slice the pineapple and banana into 1-inch pieces and freeze them in a single layer for at least six hours until they are entirely solid.

How to Make a Spinach Smoothie?

This dish uses a large percentage of frozen products. Slices of banana, pineapple, and ice should be added first to create a smooth, cool mixture. The apple should then be added to help break down the fibrous skin. The spinach leaves should next be layered on top because they are quite fragile and crumble easily. If necessary, press the greens into the high-speed blender's blades with a tamper.

To transform the smoothie into a drinking consistency, yoghurt and almond milk are added. If more liquid is required to get the desired thick and creamy texture, do so gradually.

Modify the smoothie

  1. To make the dish dairy-free, use Greek yoghurt for coconut, almond, soy, or cashew yoghurt.
  2. Use pineapple or orange juice in place of almond milk for extra fruit flavour.
  3. Chia seeds or flaxseed can help you get more Fibre and omega-3 fatty acids.
  4. If you want the smoothie to be a more substantial snack, add your preferred protein powder.
  5. Finally, add pure honey or maple syrup to increase the sweetness.
