Strawberry Spinach Smoothie (Printable)

Creamy blend of strawberries, spinach and banana with almond milk — quick, nutrient-rich drink for breakfast or snack.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 1 cup hulled fresh or frozen strawberries
02 - 1 medium frozen banana, sliced

→ Greens

03 - 1 cup packed fresh baby spinach

→ Liquids

04 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

→ Optional additions

05 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed (optional)
06 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

# How-To Steps:

01 - Hull strawberries if using fresh and slice the frozen banana; measure spinach and liquids.
02 - Place strawberries, frozen banana, packed spinach and almond milk into the blender pitcher.
03 - If desired, add chia or flaxseed, sweetener and vanilla extract for extra fiber and flavor.
04 - Blend on high until fully smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides with a spatula as needed.
05 - Assess sweetness and consistency; add a splash more almond milk for a thinner pour or a few ice cubes for thickness, then pour into glasses and serve immediately.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It’s secretly packed with greens, but all you’ll taste is pure fruity goodness.
  • No fuss—just fresh, wholesome ingredients and five minutes from fridge to glass.
02 -
  • Once, I overloaded the blender and it struggled—work in batches if doubling, unless you want a green waterfall.
  • Letting the smoothie sit too long makes it separate and lose that glorious creamy texture—fresh is always best.
03 -
  • Always use at least one frozen fruit for that creamy, shake-like texture—room temp fruit just isn’t the same.
  • A tiny pinch of salt can surprisingly brighten all the flavors without tasting salty.
