This Simple Green Smoothie Recipe is a nutritious and delicious blend of fruits, greens, and optional superfood boosters like protein powder and flaxseed. Perfect for a quick breakfast or a refreshing snack, it offers a creamy texture with natural sweetness and loads of vitamins and minerals.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 medium banana (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 cups spinach or kale (frozen)
  • 1 to 1 ½ cups orange juice
  • 1 cup cold water or your preferred milk
  • ½ cup frozen peaches
  • ½ cup frozen mango
  • ½ cup frozen pineapple

Optional Boosters

  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seed
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
  • 1 scoop collagen powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients, fresh or frozen, measuring out the quantities as listed to ensure the perfect balance of flavors and nutrition.
  2. Add to Blender: Place all the ingredients in the order listed—starting with the yogurt, banana, and greens, then the fruit, liquids, and finally the optional boosters—into a blender to facilitate smooth blending.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring all the fruits and greens are fully incorporated without lumps.
  4. Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add more orange juice or water gradually, blending again until the desired consistency is reached.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately to benefit from the maximum freshness and nutrient content.

Notes

  • Different Greens: Substitute spinach with kale, swiss chard, or a spring mix blend. Baby spinach has a mild flavor suitable for beginners.
  • Fruit Swaps: Use any frozen fruit mix such as strawberries, blueberries, or mixed berries. Avocado can be added for creaminess without additional sweetness.
  • Dairy-Free Version: Use coconut yogurt, cashew yogurt, or silken tofu instead of Greek yogurt, and swap dairy milk with almond, coconut, or oat milk.
  • Protein Boost: Incorporate nut butters (almond, peanut, or cashew), chia seeds, hemp hearts, or an extra scoop of protein powder for added nutrition and satiety.
