The smoothie is packed with essential vitamins and minerals. It’s a perfect choice for a quick breakfast or snack that helps to keep your energy levels up. Plus, it’s an easy way to sneak some greens into your diet without sacrificing sweetness.

Preparing The Ingredients

You’ll need a few simple ingredients to make a delicious strawberry spinach smoothie.

First, get some fresh or frozen strawberries. Make sure they’re washed and ready to go. You’ll need about one cup. Strawberries add natural sweetness and a fruity flavor.

Next, grab a handful of fresh spinach. Rinse it well to remove any dirt. Spinach is packed with nutrients and blends in without a strong taste.

Add a cup of almond milk. This will make your smoothie creamy and smooth. You can use any plant-based milk if you prefer something else.

Include a tablespoon of chia seeds. They help thicken the smoothie and are a good source of omega-3s.

Add a few ice cubes if you like your smoothie chilled. Ice makes it refreshing and extra cold.

Make sure everything is within reach. Once you have your ingredients ready, you’re all set to start blending. Enjoy the process!

Variations To Try

• With different fruits: Switch up your smoothie game by adding different fruits. Try tossing in a handful of blueberries or raspberries for a burst of flavor. It’ll give your smoothie a new color and taste.
• With different kinds of milk: Try using different milk alternatives. Almond milk gives a nutty flavor, while oat milk makes it creamy. Coconut milk is another option if you like it a bit tropical.
• With nut butter: Add a spoonful of nut butter. Almond or peanut butter gives it a nice, creamy texture. Plus, it’s likely to make your smoothie a bit more filling.
• With sweeteners: You can also experiment with sweeteners. Drizzle a bit of maple syrup or add a few dates for extra sweetness. Or, try agave if you’re avoiding sugar.
• With mint: For a refreshing twist, mix in herbs like mint. It brings a fresh taste to your smoothie. Use a small amount at first to see how you like it.
• With protein: Boost nutrition by adding a scoop of protein powder or a sprinkle of chia seeds. These add a bit of texture and help keep you full longer.
• With spices: Explore spices like cinnamon or ginger for a bit of warmth. These can give your smoothie a comforting kick.
• With different greens: Feel free to try different greens. Swap spinach for kale or Swiss chard. It’s a great way to add some variety in nutrients and taste.

Storage Tips

• Pour the smoothie into an airtight container. Glass jars work great for this. Fill it almost to the top to reduce air exposure.
• Put your smoothie in the fridge if you plan to drink it soon. It should stay fresh for about 1 to 2 days. Give it a good shake before drinking, as some settling might occur.
• If you want to store it longer, think about freezing. Fill ice cube trays with your smoothie. Once frozen, transfer the cubes into a bag or container. This way, you can have smoothie cubes ready anytime. Just blend the cubes when you’re ready to enjoy.
• Make sure to label your jars or bags with dates. This helps you keep track of how long your smoothie has been stored.
• When freezing, using frozen cubes lets you save space and enjoy smaller portions whenever you need them. It’s super convenient for a quick snack or breakfast.
