    What is Spinach Smoothie?

    Spinach Smoothie is a smooth, creamy, and healthy green drink loaded with nutrients and vitamins. It is usually made with fresh spinach, pineapple, banana, greek yogurt, almond milk, healthy fat, and sweeteners.

    Spinach is one of the superfoods that are good to include in your diet. And using them in smoothies has a lot of health benefits. Even though the green leaves are healthy, you might wonder how is it going to taste? Don't worry, the pineapples, banana, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla yogurt added to this drink not only makes the drink filling but also diminish the raw taste of spinach.

    The above-mentioned ingredients also are loaded with many health benefits that are good for your overall well-being. And it is one of the filling drinks that keep you full for long especially when you are on a weight loss plan.

    Ingredients

    The ingredients you will need to make this healthy Spinach Smoothie are minimal and they should be easily available in most supermarkets around. Let's see what are they below.

    Spinach Smoothie ingredients placed on a table
    • Spinach - A good source of fiber, calcium, vitamins, iron, and minerals
    • Pineapple - Delivers the tropical fruit flavor and is also loaded with healthy nutrients and vitamins
    • Banana - Loaded with fiber and antioxidants and also makes the drink creamy and smooth. You can also make this Spinach Smoothie with no banana by replacing it with favorite fruits of your choice
    • Peanut Butter - It is an optional ingredient, but peanut butter is filled with healthy proteins and fats. Also makes the drink creamy, flavorful, and filling
    • Greek Yogurt - A Good source of probiotics that is good for your gut health. I have used vanilla flavored Greek yogurt and even regular yogurt works well for this recipe
