SWEET SPINACH SMOOTHIE (MY WAY)



Sweet Spinach Smoothie (My Way) image

So we just went on a diet to get off these last 5 pounds and I made this for breakfast this morning and wow was it yummy and healthy! Definitely use a light yogurt because it is more runny and easier to blend; if you use a full fat or Greek yogurt, you will need to add more water to get the blender to work (unless you are lucky enough to have a powerful professional blender). My calculation of calories for this smoothie is only 260 (80 for yogurt, 30 for grapes, 20 for spinach, 5 for lime juice, and 125 for avocado).

SPINACH AND BANANA POWER SMOOTHIE



Spinach and Banana Power Smoothie image

A quick, easy and surprisingly delicious vegan pick-me-up that makes the most of raw superfoods and protein-rich soy. I make one of these healthy treats for myself every morning for breakfast, and it powers me all the way until lunch. I love the mild sweetness of the banana, but if you want it sweeter you could add sugar. I've also added different things like fresh ginger, cinnamon, apple, or any number of other things. Raw vegans can substitute raw almond milk for the soy. Feel free to experiment with different flavors, and enjoy the pure energy that comes from eating delicious and good-for-you food!

Tips:

  • Wash the spinach thoroughly: Spinach can harbor dirt and bacteria, so it's essential to wash it thoroughly before using it in smoothies.
  • Use frozen fruit: Frozen fruit is often more affordable and just as nutritious as fresh fruit. It also helps to thicken the smoothie and make it more refreshing.
  • Add a source of healthy fats: Healthy fats, such as those found in avocado, nut butter, or seeds, can help to keep you feeling full and satisfied after drinking a spinach smoothie.
  • Add some sweetness: If you find the spinach smoothie too bland, you can add some natural sweeteners, such as honey, maple syrup, or stevia.
  • Experiment with different flavors: There are endless possibilities when it comes to flavoring spinach smoothies. Try adding different fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices to find your favorite combinations.

Spinach smoothies are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day or refuel after a workout. They are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can boost your health in many ways. By following these tips, you can make delicious and healthy spinach smoothies that you'll love.
