Notes

  • Use frozen fruits to give the smoothie a chilled texture and avoid adding ice which may dilute the flavor.
  • Vanilla Greek yogurt adds natural sweetness and protein; substitute with plain Greek yogurt and a teaspoon of honey if preferred.
  • Flax seeds can be ground for better nutrient absorption.
  • Adjust spinach quantity according to your taste for a milder or stronger green flavor.
  • This smoothie can be prepared ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but should be shaken well before drinking.
