I’ve been interested in trying a green smoothie for awhile and I finally decided to make one last week. I’ve been doing horrible with eating enough fruits and veggies so I figured this would be a way to get in at least a couple servings, and I could drink one as a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack. I found this recipe on Skinnytaste and modified it according to what I had on hand, since Hubby ate all the bananas last week and I didn’t have Greek yogurt. I’ve also read that adding in frozen blueberries will give it a purple color so it masks the green of the spinach. Here’s what I added in mine:
- 3/4 cup coconut almond milk
- 6 oz Stonyfield strawberry yogurt (0% fat, 1o0 cal)
- 1 snack size cup of pineapple chunks (drain the juice)
- 1 cup spinach
- 2 tbsp sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 1/4 cups ice
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
After dumping everything in a blender and pureeing for a few minutes, I got this:
The verdict? SO GOOD! You can’t taste the spinach at all – seriously. All I tasted was coconut and pineapple. I’m not sure how I would like other smoothie versions without the coconut, as I feel that helps hide the spinach but I’m curious to try more recipes!
