Ingredients

Labelled ingredients on a white background.
  • Fresh spinach – I tend to buy a bag of pre-washed organic fresh baby spinach because I usually don't have time to wash and sort my own spinach. In the USA conventionally grown spinach was one of the most heavily loaded pesticide crops (based on EWG Dirty Dozen) so this is really worth buying organic. 
  • Blueberries – it is cheaper and easier to buy frozen organic blueberries as they retain most of their nutrients and you don't have to worry about them going off in the fridge. You can also use fresh blueberries. For this spinach smoothie recipe, we stuck with frozen. 
  • Banana - makes the smoothie creamy and sweet. Make sure you are using ripe bananas.  

This is a great smoothie for kids as you can't taste or see the spinach but they still get the nutrients. 

How to make a banana blueberry spinach smoothie recipe? 

My number one tip for a healthy life is to have a good blender. If you have a good high-speed blender then making healthy smoothies is easy and quick. 

There are great affordable versions such as the Magic Bullet that we have used for ages. Or if you want to go full-on there is also Vitamix which is brilliant for a thousand other things too (note: affiliate links).

Here is a simple way to make this spinach blueberry banana smoothie. 

1. Wash the spinach thoroughly, peel the banana, and measure out the frozen blueberries and almond milk. 

2. Add the spinach to your blender first. Pour the almond milk, followed by blueberries and then the banana. 

3. Blend until you have a smooth creamy texture. 

Tip: if it is too creamy for you add some water.
