Picture this: a vibrant, green smoothie swirling with the sweetness of berries, ready to kickstart your day. Not just any smoothie, but a Berry Spinach Sensation! A few years ago, I was feeling completely rundown. My energy levels were in the basement, and I knew I needed a change. That's when I started experimenting with smoothies. This recipe, born out of a desire for something healthy and delicious, quickly became a staple.
This smoothie isn't just about tasting good (though it definitely does!). It's packed with nutrients, thanks to the spinach, berries, and banana. Spinach is a fantastic source of vitamins and minerals, while berries are loaded with antioxidants. The banana adds natural sweetness and potassium, and the protein powder (optional) helps keep you feeling full and satisfied. It’s a simple and satisfying way to get a huge dose of healthy ingredients!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, give the spinach a good rinse under cold water. Even if it's pre-washed, a little extra rinse never hurts!
- Next, roughly chop the strawberries and banana. No need to be too precise; the blender will take care of the rest.
- Now, add the spinach, chopped strawberries, banana, blueberries, and protein powder (if using) to the blender.
- Pour in the almond milk (or your liquid of choice).
- Secure the lid on the blender and start blending on a low speed, gradually increasing to high until everything is smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds, depending on your blender.
- Give it a taste! If it's not sweet enough for you, add a touch of honey or maple syrup. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash more almond milk. Not sure? That's perfectly normal!
- Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately! Maybe sprinkle some chia seeds on top for extra crunch? I think it will be amazing.
- Clean your blender right away to prevent the smoothie from sticking. Trust me, future you will thank you!
📝 Notes
- Feel free to add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds for extra fiber and omega-3s.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
- For a colder smoothie, use frozen fruit.
