A Simple Green Smoothie: My Go-To for a Refreshing Boost

Hey everyone!

Iโ€™m thrilled to share one of my favorite smoothie recipes with you today. It’s my go-to for a refreshing, nutritious start to the day or a quick pick-me-up in the afternoon. There’s something magical about blending simple, wholesome ingredients into a delicious drink that not only satisfies your taste buds but also fuels your body with goodness.

Ingredients:

  • 1 small or half a medium banana, sliced and frozen
  • 1/2 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • Splash of skim milk (you can also use coconut milk, soy milk, or almond milk)
  • 3/4 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 to 1 ยฝ cups baby spinach
  • Ice

Instructions:

  1. Add all ingredients to your blender.
  2. Blend until smooth.
  3. Enjoy!

I love how versatile this smoothie is. Depending on what I have on hand or what I’m in the mood for, I might switch up the milk. Coconut milk gives it a tropical twist, while almond milk keeps it light and nutty.

The frozen banana is key hereโ€”it makes the smoothie creamy and naturally sweet without needing any added sugar. And the pineapple chunks add a zesty freshness that pairs perfectly with the spinach. Speaking of spinach, donโ€™t let the color scare you off! You can barely taste it, but it packs a powerful nutritional punch.

The Greek yogurt adds a nice protein boost and makes the smoothie extra creamy. If youโ€™re looking for an even bigger protein kick, that vanilla protein powder does the trick. Plus, it gives the smoothie a subtle vanilla flavor thatโ€™s just divine.

I usually have this smoothie after my morning workout or as an afternoon snack when I need a little energy boost. Itโ€™s amazing how something so simple can make you feel so good. And the best part? Itโ€™s quick and easy, perfect for those busy days when you need something nutritious on the go.

So, go ahead and give this #SimpleGreenSmoothie a try. I hope you love it as much as I do! Let me know how you like it or if you have any fun variationsโ€”Iโ€™m always looking for new smoothie inspiration.

Cheers to health and happiness!
