Creamy and delicious, this Berry Spinach Protein Smoothie is packed with protein and fiber to give you lasting energy.

Mornings are a busy time – we have children to feed, jobs to get ready for, social media to check… If I had to pick one healthy breakfast recipe to suggest for busy people, without a lot of time in the morning, it would hands down be my Berry Spinach Protein Smoothie. Don’t get me wrong, as the known smoothie queen around here, I love all smoothies, but this Berry Spinach Smoothie is the one I’m currently obsessed with, and not only me, but my children are, too.

How to Make Berry Spinach Protein Smoothie

Start your Berry Spinach Protein Smoothie by adding your mixed berries and banana to a blender.

Next add the plain Greek yogurt.

Followed by your favorite protein powder.

And flaxseed meal.

Then shove down your leafy greens.

Top it off with some cinnamon and ginger.

Add ice and some water, then blend until smooth.

Pour evenly into glasses, serve, and enjoy!
Change It Up
- Swap the berries. You could use just strawberries or raspberries and still have a delicious smoothie.
- Change the greens. Instead of spinach, add kale, chard, lettuce, or celery.
- Switch out the additive. Instead of flaxseed meal, add chia seeds, hemp seeds, or wheatgrass.
