Notes
Variations:
Add rolled oats. Whole rolled oats are a great whole grain that will add additional protein and fiber as well as a grainy texture that I love.
Add peanut butter. A spoonful of peanut butter will also add some healthy unsaturated fat as well as protein.
Switch up the greens. Try adding collard greens or kale in place of spinach. Or try a little of each.
Add powder. Try adding a heaping tablespoon of vanilla or chocolate protein powder, collagen peptides, or acai berry powder.
Make it vegan or dairy-free. Leave out the yogurt and use soy or almond milk.
Old Green Smoothie Recipe: I've been making this posted version of a green smoothie for last two years and absolutely love it. The old version I shared years ago on this post is below (although not as healthy as my new version). Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
1/4 cup milk
juice of 1 orange, freshly squeezed
5 ice cubes
2 large handfuls fresh spinach leaves
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1 banana
1/2 cup frozen fruit: pineapple, strawberries, mango, peaches, or raspberries
