This smoothie recipe is close to my heart as a crunchy mama, because it's the first smoothie recipe I could get my uber-picky 9-year-old daughter (now 17 and still loving them!) to eat and actually enjoy. She swears by it to all her friends now, and loves the fact that she is getting a serving of veggie in every glass (but can’t taste it!)
Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients
1 to 1.5 cups baby spinach
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
5-6 ice cubes
3 ounces low-sugar Vanilla Greek yogurt (1/2 small container)
1/2 green apple, peeled and cored
1/2 banana
1/4 cup water (or to taste)
Drizzle of honey (if needed for sweetness)
Instructions
Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend them on high until smooth (usually about 1-2 full minutes in a regular blender). Serve with a dollop of canned whipped cream on top for a fun extra to this healthy and nutritious smoothie!
Easy to make, no added sugar, and protein-rich for a quick, healthy breakfast option. You just can’t go wrong with this family-friendly smoothie recipe!
Weight loss tip: Drink down 8-12 ounces of this smoothie at mealtime for a fabulous weight loss meal replacement that keeps you feeling satisfied.
