Blueberry Spinach Smoothie recipe that's healthy, quick, and an easy to make snack. Made with fresh spinach, plain Greek yogurt, and honey, also a tasty addition to mornings.

Blueberry Spinach Smoothie snacks are not only easy to make, they're also full of nutrition. I love a smoothie during that afternoon witching hour when I'm starting to crave something sweet.

This particular smoothie has a few hidden ingredients, like spinach, a banana, Greek yogurt, milk, and honey. My boys didn't quite know what to think when they found out there was spinach in their smoothies.

You can use fresh or frozen blueberries, totally up to you. I used frozen because cheaper.

I do add the banana and tablespoon of honey to sweeten the smoothie just a bit; however, it’s not overly sweet. The banana and honey really work together to give just the right amount of sweetness but not too much.

The Greek yogurt gives the smoothie more of a creamy factor. You could probably leave it out if you don't want that tangy yogurt taste… I make smoothies both with and without yogurt, depending on what's in my fridge at any given time.

Tips for how to make a Blueberry Spinach Smoothie:

Gather your ingredients… You'll need fresh or frozen blueberries, fresh spinach leaves, a banana, plain Greek yogurt, milk, raw honey, and ice.

  1. If you’re using fresh blueberries, wash your berries. If you’re using frozen blueberries, there’s no prep needed.
  2. Also wash the spinach.
  3. Add your blueberries, spinach leaves, peeled banana, yogurt, milk, and honey to a large blender.
  4. Pulse until everything is mixed well.
  5. Add the ice to the mixture, and pulse again until you reach the desired consistency. If your blender has a smoothie setting, you can use that.
  6. Pour into cups or jars and serve with straws.

This recipe yields about 2 to 4 smoothies, depending on the size smoothie you prefer. We like them on the smaller side, so my 3 boys and I can usually split the recipe between us.

Alternative options or add-ins for your smoothie:

  • If you don’t want regular milk… You can use whatever kind of milk you prefer, whether it’s almond milksoy milk, whatever you choose.
  • Add a handful of strawberries for an extra berry kick.
  • Add flaxseedschia seedshemp seeds, or goji berries to your smoothie.
  • Use a different flavor yogurt… Maybe add a double dose of blueberry with blueberry yogurt.
