Green Smoothies Recipes for Energy
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Fresh Spinach
- 1 Banana
- 2 Cups Orange Juice
- 2 Cups Non-Fat Milk
- 8 Large Frozen Strawberries
- ½ Cup Frozen Blueberries
- 8 oz. Yogurt {I like to use Boysenberry Blackberry, Strawberry, or Raspberry}
- 3 Baby Carrots
- Optional: 1 tsp. Sugar
Instructions
- Blend spinach, orange juice and milk together first. I use the ‘liquify’ option on my blender.
- Once the spinach has blended well, add all other ingredients and blend.
- I like to use frozen fruit, but if using fresh fruit, you can add in some ice cubes for more of a frozen consistency.
- Enjoy!
- If making these for someone else, you may want to wait until they’ve had it and raved about how much they enjoy it before you share the secret with them… that they’re drinking spinach!

Superb, nutrient-packed smoothie recipe! Love it! Also enjoying it with almond milk and some ground flax seed for added punch. A meal-in-a-glass one. Thanks!
Jo Alexander says
I do not use much liquid in my green smoothies. I make up my protein powder, oatmeal, almonds, cinnamon and a little cocoa powder and put in glasses to have each day. I put this in my vitamix and then one cup almond or coconut milk, two handfuls spinach or spring mix, a handful carrots. I also buy frozen cut up fruits and fill quart bags for each day and add this to the mix in the blender. I add blueberries for color and a banana for smoothness and blend. I totally fill the large blender! I blend and pour into a thermos for granddaughter to take to work and divide the rest with my two greatgrandchildren. We all have a nourishing and filling drink every morning.

What are your thoughts on making ahead of time and freezing some of it for the next few days?!

I have 3 young kids and I can never get them to eat spinach………this looks like a great sneaky way to try…thanks
Kerry says
OMG, I can’t wait to try this! I just bought a Ninja (found on an infomercial but bought from Target) and this thing is too cool for the price. I’m picky and so are my kids so wish me luck! May even get real ambitious and try Amy’s (Muddy Boot Blog) green smoothie. Thanks for posting it!!
Andi says
Thanks for the recipe. I just tried it and I love it. My husband drank it all and then I told him it had spinach he was very surprised. I can't wait for the boys to try it when they get home from school.
