Hey everyone!
I’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 ½ cups baby spinach
- Ice
Instructions:
- Add all ingredients to your blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- 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 here—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, don’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 you’re looking for an even bigger protein kick, that vanilla protein powder does the trick. Plus, it gives the smoothie a subtle vanilla flavor that’s just divine.
I usually have this smoothie after my morning workout or as an afternoon snack when I need a little energy boost. It’s amazing how something so simple can make you feel so good. And the best part? It’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 variations—I’m always looking for new smoothie inspiration.
Cheers to health and happiness!
