Believe it or not, frozen fruit is highly nutritious. Fruit begins to lose it’s nutritional value right after it’s picked, but freezing fruit right after harvesting helps lock in those nutrients.

That means this strawberry spinach smoothie is full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

I love serving this strawberry spinach smoothie to my kids at breakfast time, on the weekends, or after school. There’s no better way to make use of raw spinach and frozen fruit!

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here are the healthy ingredients that go into this strawberry spinach smoothie:

Smoothie Mix-Ins

Sometimes I like to switch it up with my healthy smoothie recipes! I love that it can be easily altered depending on what I’m in the mood for or what I have on hand.

Here are some ideas on how to customize your strawberry spinach smoothie:

• Add chia seeds or hemp seeds
• Add vanilla protein powder
• Substitute kale, Swiss chard, romaine, or other leafy greens for fresh spinach
• Use your favored flavored fat free yogurt, rather than plain
• Add honey or apple juice for natural sweetness
• Add extra veggies, like frozen cauliflower rice
• Add nut butter (peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter are some of my favorites)
• Use almond milk, oat milk, or cashew milk instead of yogurt

Storage Instructions

This smoothie is best enjoyed right after making. You can store it in the fridge if you’re not able to finish it right away, but I don’t recommend trying to freeze it. (The texture will be off.)

FAQs

Expert Tips & Tricks

• Feel free to substitute spinach for kale. If I’m using kale, I don’t pack the measuring cup as full. I usually add 1-2 loose handfuls.
• You may want to thin the smoothie with up to ½ cup juice/water to the consistency you like.
• I cut bananas into slices before freezing them so they blend well and create a nice, creamy texture.
