How many calories in this smoothie?
These pics are amazing.
When you mix greens (spinach) and reds (strawberries/raspberries), it can sometimes cause the smoothie to turn brown. The ripeness of the spinach and red fruits can play a part in this.
Except for using regulars cow’s milk instead of the almond milk, I followed your instructions. Wondering why my smoothie came out brown instead of green…?
Is this recipe 1 serving? I found it to be more than I could drink at a time and I didn’t even have the full amount of spinach the recipe called for. Even my picky child tried and liked it! Thanks for sharing. I substituted the almond milk for filtered water, since most nuts bother me.
This recipe makes approximately 5 servings; 8 ounces each.
Regular cow’s milk should work fine.
You will use 1/2-3/4 cup of yogurt in place of 1 banana.
Hi Kelli, This smoothie looks really good, you mentioned that you can replace the banana with plain or vanilla yogurt, but how much do you replace it with, 1/2 cup?
Hi Sarah,
You can add a plain or vanilla flavored yogurt in place of the banana.
Hi, I am just wondering what can replace the banana’s in this smoothie as I have an allergy to them, but very interested in trying!
Hi Kelli, I’d love to try this but I have a tree nut allergy. Can you suggest a replacement for the almond milk?
Hi April,
This smoothie recipe was specifically made for the capacity of a Blendtec, but I’m sure other blenders can blend it just as well. I would suggest cutting the recipe in half if you are not using a more powerful blender, like a Blendtec.
I am interested in trying this smoothie. Is a blender sufficient to mix these ingredients or do I need a juicer? It seems as though spinach leaves would not chop up/blend well into this mixture without being lumpy.
Any tips?
24 hours.
You could use another green, like lettuce or kale; however, spinach has a much milder taste. You could also just leave the spinach out.
Can I replace spinach with something else?
It’s best if you consume it within 24 hours.
Almond milk is arguably one of the best milks for the human body – in more ways than one.
Completely beats out cow milk, soy milk, & rice milk.
Ahh the power of superfoods. Love them.
How long can this be refrigerated for?
Can you keep this recipe or does in need to be made fresh each time?
The c stands for cup(s).
what is c in 3 c spinach or 2 c ice or 1/2 c rasberries?
This recipe has 89 calories.
What is the calorie count please?
Agave nectar is a great option to use in place of honey.
As a vegan, I’m wondering if there is a plant product you would recommend to replace the honey?
This recipe makes 5 servings.
It makes a lot, does the whole recipe count at just one serving?
