Fresh fruit 'n spinach smoothie hides a full cup of spinach behind sweet strawberries, raspberries, and banana — and you will never taste the greens. Coconut milk, almond cream, and flax seed make it thick, creamy, and satisfying enough for breakfast. Two minutes in the blender and it is ready to drink.
Pro Tips
- Use frozen berries and a cold banana. The frozen fruit chills the smoothie into a thick, frosty texture without any ice watering it down.
- Blend the spinach with the liquids first before adding the rest — it disappears completely instead of leaving green flecks.
- The flax seed adds thickness and staying power; blend it thoroughly so the smoothie is creamy rather than gritty.
- Adjust the sweetness to the ripeness of your banana. Very ripe bananas may mean you can skip the honey entirely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I taste the spinach in this smoothie?
Not at all — the banana and berries dominate the flavor. The spinach is there for nutrients and only shows up as the drink's green tint.
Is this smoothie paleo?
Yes — coconut milk, almond cream, fruit, flax seed, and raw honey are all paleo staples, and there is no dairy or refined sugar.
Can I make this smoothie nut-free?
Use extra coconut milk in place of the almond cream. It stays creamy and thick, just with a slightly more tropical flavor.
How many servings does this recipe make?
Two tall glasses — enough for two people, or one very filling breakfast on the go.
