The Easiest Green Smoothie Recipe.

This is the easiest green smoothie ever, and it’s so delicious. You can’t taste the spinach, so it’s perfect for those who are hesitant to add greens to their smoothies.

What’s your opinion on green smoothies? Are they a regular part of your routine? Do you love them? Hate them?

For a long time, I feared green smoothies if you can believe that! I was certain that I would be able to taste the spinach or kale. But that’s not true at all.

This green smoothie recipe is simple, creamy, and delicious. It’s kid friendly, because the blended spinach doesn’t have any detectable flavor.

This is the perfect recipe to try if you’re new to adding greens to your smoothies.

Why make a green smoothie?

If you’re already drinking smoothies, adding spinach or kale to them is a great way to get the nutrients from those greens. Spinach and kale are good sources of vitamins C and K, as well as iron.

If you don’t normally eat greens, this is a great way to include them in your diet.

Can green smoothies be made ahead of time?

For the best quality and texture, drink your green smoothie right after blending it. But if you need to save it for a while, you can store it in the fridge, and then stir or shake before drinking.

Don’t store it for more than 12 hours for the best quality.

Is this green smoothie recipe kid-friendly?

Yes, it’s very kid-friendly! The combination of bananas and pineapple make this smoothie sweet and creamy, and as I mentioned, the flavor of the spinach is undetectable.

Can I use kale instead of spinach in this smoothie recipe?

You can, but I find that kale is a little harder to blend up. You may notice some flecks of kale in the smoothie rather than an even green color. Depending on if you have picky eaters, that may or may not be an issue for you.
