The other day I wrote espousing the virtues of spinach smoothies. Well, I just made a new variation deserving of its very own little announcement.
This time I used organic vanilla soymilk instead of water, half a banana, and enough spinach to fill about half of the blender.
It. Is. Divine. It’s creamy yet light, subtly sweet, almost dessert like. And it’s the most delightful botanical, pastel green colour. It made a very refreshing accompaniment to my little fruit salad.
In short, I highly recommend it.
Spinach Smoothie #2:
1/2 cup vanilla soymilk
1/2 banana
Spinach – enough to loosely fill half the blender (leaf only, remove stems)
3 or 4 ice cubes
- Blend until completely smooth and enjoy.

I finally got to try it – you’re right! it’s awesome! and so guilt-free too!
dorit - that’s awesome, I’m so glad you liked it. I’ve been enjoying them a lot lately, especially in this hot weather – great way to cool down after a workout too, and as you said…guilt free!

Hi,
Count me in when it comes to a nutritious drink! :)
I make this wonderful drink but I add fresh coconut milk, coconut meat (that I scoop out with a melon baller), banana, organic baby leaf spinach to unsweetened almond milk — it taste fantastic and does wonders to my bg! :) Not to mention the boost it gives my energy level :) And…… *drum roll*….
I….am….losing….weight! :)
Yum! Thanks for the recipe! :)
