Notes

If you don't want the spinach in your smoothie, omit it!
This recipe is for one smoothie. Double it if you want two!
Helpful tips
  • You can use fresh blueberries and bananas like the ones pictured below or, if you like your smoothie to be as cold as I do, you can freeze the fruit. I made Christopher's smoothie from the fresh fruit because he doesn't like his drinks cold.
  • For my smoothie, I use frozen wild blueberries and a banana I peeled, cut and put in the freezer the night before.
  • Does the order that you add the ingredients matter? In a blender with the blades in the cover, you add the solids first and then the liquids.
  • With a blender like a Vitamix where the blades are in the bottom of the container, you need to add the liquids first, then the powders, then the fruit and spinach.
