Notes
- Milk: Use regular cow's milk or your favorite non-dairy milk such as almond milk, cashew milk, oat milk, or soy milk. From skim to whole, any fat level will do.
- Spinach: To take your spinach over the top, substitute a 10-ounce block of frozen spinach, thawed, for the 2 cups fresh. It’s intense but amazing!
- Protein powder: Use either your favorite vanilla protein powder or ½ cup Greek yogurt.
- Honey: Taste the smoothie before adding any sweeteners, then start with a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup. If you use a vanilla-flavored protein powder, you probably won’t need anything.
- Yield: This recipe makes about 2 cups of smoothie, enough for 1 serving.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Some separation may occur, so shake or stir to combine before enjoying.
