A creamy, fresh, and high-protein green smoothie that is quick and easy to make, perfect for busy mornings or post-workout fuel.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1½ cups fresh spinach (30-45g), packed
  • 1 medium ripe banana (about 120g), peeled and frozen if possible
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (120g), full-fat or low-fat
  • 1 tablespoon natural almond butter (16g), can substitute peanut or cashew butter
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240ml), can substitute oat or soy milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, about 12g)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (optional, around 25g)
  • 3–4 ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel the banana and freeze overnight for a thicker, colder shake if possible. Rinse and pat dry the fresh spinach.
  2. Add spinach and almond milk to the blender. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until smooth and vibrant green to avoid leafy chunks.
  3. Add banana, Greek yogurt, and almond butter. Blend again for about 45 seconds until creamy and well combined.
  4. Add vanilla extract and chia seeds if using. Blend for another 15 seconds to mix evenly.
  5. Add protein powder (if using) and ice cubes. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth and frothy.
  6. Check consistency and taste. If too thick, add a splash more almond milk and pulse briefly. Adjust sweetness or thickness as needed.
  7. Serve immediately in a glass or reusable bottle and enjoy.

Notes

Blend spinach and almond milk first to avoid leafy chunks. Use frozen banana for thicker texture. Substitute almond butter with peanut or sunflower seed butter if allergic. For vegan option, replace Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use plant-based protein powder. Prepare banana and spinach in freezer bags the night before for quick mornings.
