Tips & Easy Variations
- Swap in different greens: If you’re out of spinach, try kale (stems removed), romaine, or mixed greens for a similar nutrient profile.
- Go dairy-free: Use a plant-based yogurt instead of Greek yogurt to keep it vegan or if you’re avoiding dairy.
- Adjust sweetness: The banana and honey add natural sweetness, but you can skip the honey if your strawberries are extra ripe or you’re cutting back on sugars.
- Make it thicker: Add a bit more frozen fruit or reduce the almond milk slightly for a spoonable smoothie bowl.
- Add protein: A scoop of plain or vanilla protein powder makes this a more filling meal or post-workout snack.

FAQs
Can I use fresh banana instead of frozen?
Yes! A frozen banana adds creaminess and makes the smoothie cold without extra ice. If you’re using fresh banana, you might just want to toss in a few more ice cubes.
Do I need a high-powered blender to make this?
It helps, especially with greens, but a regular blender works fine. Blend the spinach and liquid first for a smoother texture before adding the rest.
Are frozen strawberries okay?
Absolutely. Frozen strawberries are perfect for smoothies—they’re convenient, often picked at peak ripeness, and help make the smoothie colder and thicker.
Can I prep this ahead of time?
Yes—blend everything and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a shake or a quick stir before drinking. Or freeze in smoothie bags for quick blending later.
Is this smoothie kid-friendly?
Definitely! The fruit masks the flavor of the spinach well, making it a great way to sneak in extra greens without a fuss.
