Spinach Raspberry Smoothie
Spinach raspberry smoothie is the perfect thick and creamy on the go breakfast or great post workout smoothie. With only 7 ingredients, this green smoothie is packed with protein and healthy fats, filling, delicious and satisfying. Vegan, Dairy Free and Gluten Free
Use frozen fruit and frozen spinach for the best texture. If you are using fresh raspberries or fresh spinach, you will want to add some ice (between ¼ - ½ cup) to ensure you get the best texture.
If you want this smoothie to be green in color or if you want the smoothie to have a little less sweetness, increase the frozen spinach from 1/2 cup to 1 cup.
Frozen spinach is blanched before freezing, meaning that it's quickly steamed then put in cold water. This means that there is a lot more spinach in 1/2 cup of frozen spinach than fresh spinach (since spinach wilts down so much when it's cooked). Because of this, you can probably use 1 cup of fresh baby spinach in place of the 1/2 cup frozen spinach.
For a slightly sweeter smoothie, add the optional 1-2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup. You can also use 1-2 pitted medjool dates which will add a slight caramel flavor to the smoothie as well as sweeten it.
Change up the flavor by using a different flavor protein powder. One of my favorite protein powders to use for this recipe is the Four Sigmatic peanut butter protein, but chocolate or vanilla would be great too!
