💭 SUBSTITUTIONS & TIPS

FROZEN FRUIT & VEG:  I always use frozen fruits and vegetables in my smoothies.  I find they give my smoothies a thick, frosty texture and also help keep my smoothie cool.  If you only have fresh on hand and want to make this right away, just pop a handful of ice cubes into the blender.

MILK:  Choose any milk you enjoy.  I generally make this smoothie with soy, but have also tried almond and cow's milk and all tasted great.

YOGURT:  I've used both vanilla yogurt and greek yogurt for this recipe and had great results with both. If your yogurt isn't sweetened you might want to add a teaspoon or two of your favourite liquid sweetener into the mix. If you need your smoothie to be dairy free / vegan, opt for a coconut yogurt, or omit entirely and just add a little less milk.

SMOOTHIE BOOSTERS:  I love adding chia seeds and flaxseed oil to my smoothies for an extra nutritional boost.  If you don't have these on hand feel free to leave them out.

👩🏻‍🍳 FAQS

WHAT BLENDER SHOULD I USE?

Investing in a high performance blender is a great idea if you make smoothies often.  You don't need to spend lots of money either.  My Ninja Mega Kitchen System was around $150 and it's still going strong after 4 years.  

I know one thing that deters people from making smoothies is having to wash up the blender jug.  I use the cup attachment on our Ninja  and it is so easy!  Once I’ve blended my smoothie I just pop it in the dishwasher. Simple!  

CAN YOU PUT RAW SPINACH IN A SMOOTHIE?

You can absolutely add raw spinach into a smoothie.  In fact, it's an easy and healthy way to eat more spinach!  

I love to freeze a bag of spinach to always have on hand for smoothies.  All you need to do is give the spinach a rinse, dry it in a salad spinner and place it in a ziplock bag in the freezer.
