So for a year or two now I’ve been reading about so many others making smoothies with spinach in them.
At first, I have to admit, it sounded gross. I am not one to mix certain things together. Like I don’t want mandarin oranges in my salad. And I don’t want cranberries in my chicken salad. I was certainly skeptical of spinach in a smoothie.
But I have to say, I’m sold on this idea now.
I gathered up the ingredients and brought out the blender, which never usually sees the light of day for smoothie making unless it’s summertime.
Frozen strawberries, mangos and pineapple and then a large handful of raw spinach.
I also added some ice and light apple juice.
Green gobbley goop.
But when it was all blended up, poured out and slurped up, it was really tasty!
Seriously Spinached Smoothie
1 c. frozen fruit mix of your choice (I used strawberries, mangos, pineapple)
1 c. spinach leaves
4 large ice cubes
1/2 c. light apple juice
1 Splenda sweetener packet
Add all ingredients to the blender and zap! Blend in to frozen green goodness.
Pour out, slurp up!
It was the perfect consistency and just as sweet as I needed it to be.
And even though it’s wintertime, and I never have smoothies in the winter because I am too cold natured, I would definitely whip up another one of these anytime to enjoy! That’s what electric blankets are for, right?!
Spinach Smoothie Satisfaction!

What other way do you eat spinach that is out of the ordinary?

Isn’t it great how you cant taste the spinach in the smoothie? It makes me so happy when I can sneak my veggies in that way!!
At first I was really skeptical about putting spinach in my smoothies but then I tried it and it wasn’t too bad. I actually like kale in my smoothies better than spinach, it doesn’t give the smoothie a gritty texture like spinach does.
I’m down to add whatever kind of berry I can find along with coconut milk and Blueberries N Cream protein powder but Im starting to get bored with that. I read about adding cold green tea to a smoothie the other day and think Im gonna give that a go soon!
PS-What program do you use to write on your pictures like that?
I started drinking these to try and get more veggies in. I’ve made both chocolaty flavored ones and fruity flavored ones, and I am more partial to the fruity ones. They’re pretty good. 🙂
Sounds very healthy, but looks very pretty and tasty! I like your malt glass and straw too 🙂
great photos! chocolate-y, spinach and blueberry protein smoothies are my fave!
I thought spinach smoothies looked disgusting too before trying one. So good!
My fav: 2 cups spinach, 1 frozen banana, 5-6 pieces frozen mango, 1 cup vanilla almond milk & pinch of cayenne chili pepper.
I also add chia seeds & wheat germ sometimes :).
Spinach is so good in smoothies! My favorite combination is: spinach, whey protein, 1 T of peanut butter, 1 cup frozen fruit. Perfect for an afternoon snack or after a hard workout! 🙂
Love such green smoothies 😀
YUM!!! I love how green smoothies can taste just like a fruit smoothie! 😀
hm i have never tried adding spinach to my smoothies but your pictures make it look so fresh and delicious! i just may be converted to sneaking veggies into my smoothies from now on!
That looks delicious! My weirdest (and tastiest) smoothie combination involves avocado and mango–I bet a little spinach wouldn’t hurt either 🙂
Everyone loves these green monsters! I don’t know if I can do it! I trust all of your recipes, so if I do try it, I’ll use this one 😉
I’ve never had a spinach smoothie before, this looks delicious 🙂
I need to try this recipe. I tried a spinach smoothie before….EPIC FAIL! haha
I love putting almond milk in my spinach smoothies and wheat grass powder and generally frozen bananas because they are so sweet!
