Why You'll Love Making This
This smoothie is packed with nutrients from fresh spinach and fruits, giving you a natural energy boost. It’s a delicious way to add more greens to your diet without sacrificing flavor. Plus, it’s quick to make and perfect for a healthy start to your day.
Directions
Ad the yogurt, banana, and blueberries to your blender. Then, pile in as much spinach as you can fit. Pour in some water to help everything blend smoothly. Blend on high until the mixture is nice and smooth—if it’s too thick, you can toss in the rest of the spinach and blend again. If you like it colder and creamier, throw in some ice and blend a bit more. On the other hand, if it feels too thick, just add a splash more water until it’s just right.
