Ingredients

Almond Milk: I use almond milk to make this smoothie, but you can use your milk of choice.

Vanilla Protein Powder: Adding protein powder to smoothies is a great way to thicken your smoothie and also make it more filling. I swear by the Pure Protein Vanilla Cream Whey Powder for all my smoothies.

Blueberries: Fresh or frozen blueberries work great for this recipe. I prefer to use frozen blueberries because they can be stored for months in the freezer.

Strawberries: Like with the blueberries, your strawberries can be fresh or frozen. Again, I prefer to use frozen strawberries because they last for a long time and add thickness to the smoothie.

Honey: Adding a little honey is a great way to sweeten any smoothie. I also like to use imitation honey, which is a sugar free honey alternative that tastes incredible.

Pinch of Salt: Salt helps to bring out the flavor and sweetness of each ingredient in the smoothie.

Spinach: I like to throw in a handful of fresh spinach to my smoothies to get a serving of vegetables in there. However, you can also use frozen spinach if you have some on hand.

Ice: Adding ice will ensure that you have a nice thick texture to your smoothie. The amount of ice you use will depend on whether you use fresh or frozen fruit. I’ll give more info on the fruit/ice ratio later.

How To Make This Recipe

This super simple 5 minute berry and spinach smoothie recipe is quick and easy to make. Here’s how to do it:

In a blender, add the milk first, filling it to the 8oz or 1 cup line. Then add the protein powder, honey, and salt. Next, add the strawberries, blueberries, and spinach.

If you choose to use fresh fruit, make sure your fruit has been washed and the tops of your strawberries have been removed! Last, add the ice. Blend until fully combined and pour into a glass. Enjoy!

Best Protein Powder For Protein Smoothies

If you’ve tried making homemade smoothies before but couldn’t get the texture that you wanted, try adding protein powder to your smoothies! I usually add vanilla protein powder to all my smoothies, whether they are all fruit or green smoothies.

Protein powder will create a thicker consistency and help you avoid an overly runny smoothie while adding a nice vanilla taste. I swear by the Pure Protein Vanilla Whey Powder. It’s by far the best one I have tried!

Almond Milk Smoothie

While this smoothie tastes delicious with any milk, I prefer to use almond milk because of the low sugar content. Almond milk can generally be used as a substitute for any kind of milk in smoothies recipes!

There are a lot of different brands of almond milk to choose from. The two best tasting in my opinion are the Blue Diamond almond milk, and the Walmart Great Value brand vanilla almond milk.

Recipe Variations

Milk: You can use any kind of milk of your choice! Some good alternatives to almond milk include oat milk, coconut milk, classic cow’s milk, or even lactose free milk!

Fruit: We love the strawberry and blueberry combo in this smoothie, but you can mix it up by adding different fruit variations. Bananas, blackberries, raspberries, mangos, and pineapple are all great additions or swaps.

Greens: Spinach is easy to find and the flavor blends right in when added to fruit smoothies. However, for a more prominent green flavor, try using kale instead of spinach!

Make-Ahead Tips

Freeze fresh fruit! Buying fresh fruit is generally less expensive than packaged frozen fruit. However, you can save money and make your fruit last longer by freezing it at home!

Wash and cut your fruit, and place it in a zip-loc bag. You can store your frozen fruit in the freezer for up to a few months.

Recipe FAQ’s

Can I use a different kind of milk?

Of course! You can use your milk of choice when making a spinach and berry smoothie. I personally like unsweetened almond milk because it is low in sugar, but any milk works!

Can I use mixed greens?

I prefer using greens such as spinach and kale in smoothies. Some greens like lettuce and arugula could give your smoothie a bitter flavor, so I would avoid using those.

Is a berry smoothie healthy?

It can be! Smoothies are a great way to incorporate fruits and vegetables into your daily diet. Just make sure to look at smoothie ingredients, because some smoothies might contain more sugar than you think with ingredients such as fruit concentrates or added table sugar.

Should I use fresh or frozen fruit?

If you prefer an extra thick smoothie texture, you should use frozen fruit! For a thinner texture, you can use fresh fruit. If you want a thick smoothie but only have fresh fruit on hand, try adding some extra ice to make the smoothie thicker!

What berries are good for smoothies?

This recipe uses strawberries and blueberries, but we also love raspberries and blackberries for smoothies!

Can you put raw spinach in a smoothie?

Yes! You can add raw or frozen spinach to a smoothie! I prefer adding raw spinach to my smoothies because the taste blends in completely with the fruit.
