Berry and Spinach Smoothie

This vibrant purple powerhouse smoothie brings together sweet berries and fresh spinach in a deliciously creamy blend.

I love how it packs a nutritious punch while tasting like a fruity milkshake! Perfect for busy days, workout fuel, or when you’re feeling fancy but want something quick and healthy.

Variations & Substitutions

You can add a spoonful of peanut butter or almond butter for a nutty PB&J twist that’s incredibly satisfying. If you’re not a fan of soy milk, coconut water makes an amazing tropical alternative.

For extra protein, swap the Greek yogurt with your favorite protein powder. Want it sweeter? A touch of honey or maple syrup does wonders. My personal favorite variation is adding a handful of raspberries for extra tang!

Tips & Tricks for Perfect Results

Always start blending at the lowest speed and gradually work your way up – this prevents those annoying chunks. Skip the ice and use frozen fruit instead for the perfect thick texture without watering down the flavors.

I’ve found that frozen bananas are great for creating that creamy consistency we all love. Plus, they naturally sweeten the smoothie.

Making the Recipe Stand Out

I recommend blending the spinach and liquid first until completely smooth – trust me, this makes a huge difference in texture. Sometimes I’ll add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a bit of fresh ginger to give it an unexpected kick.

For an antioxidant boost, I like to mix different types of berries – strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries create an incredible flavor profile.

Storage & Reheating

If you’re meal prepping, portion out your ingredients into freezer bags – this way you’ll have ready-to-blend smoothie packs whenever the craving hits.
