A quick and easy creamy green smoothie recipe that kids love, blending spinach, banana, and Greek yogurt into a delicious, dessert-like treat that’s nutritious and refreshing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, packed
  • 1 large ripe banana, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the spinach thoroughly and drain well to avoid watery smoothies. Peel and slice the banana. Gather yogurt, honey, almond milk, vanilla extract, and ice.
  2. Place the spinach in the blender first, followed by banana slices, Greek yogurt, honey, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
  3. Blend on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute until smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more honey, banana, yogurt, or almond milk as desired.
  5. Add ice cubes and blend again for 15-20 seconds for a chilled finish. Pulse if your blender struggles.
  6. Pour into glasses or smoothie cups and serve immediately. Garnish with a spinach leaf or banana slice if desired.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or cashew yogurt and almond milk with any plant-based milk. Avoid overblending spinach to prevent a grassy taste. Blend in stages if needed for smoother texture. Store in airtight container in fridge up to 24 hours; stir or reblend before serving.
