Prep the Greens: Place the baby spinach into the blender first. Adding a splash of water here ensures the leaves are fully pulverized and well-mixed for a smooth texture.
Add the Base: Add the banana and low-fat yogurt to the blender to provide a natural sweetness and a creamy foundation.
Protein Boost: Add the vanilla whey protein powder.
Liquid & Chill: Add the ice cubes and an additional splash of water to help achieve your desired consistency.
Blend: Blitz on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and a vibrant green color.
Serve: Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy immediately for maximum freshness.
Notes on recipes: The vanilla protein and banana completely mask the spinach, resulting in a mild, sweet flavor. The yogurt and ice create a light, frothy consistency.
Freezer notes: This recipe is not suitable for freezing, as the texture of the yogurt and fresh spinach will separate once thawed.
Meal prep friendly notes: While best enjoyed fresh, you can portion the spinach and banana into a reusable bag beforehand for a faster “grab-and-blend” routine.
Travel notes: Best enjoyed immediately. If you must travel with it, use a vacuum-insulated flask to keep the smoothie chilled and prevent the texture from separating.
