Power Strawberry & Yogurt Smoothie

Sneaky and satisfying, this smoothie tastes like strawberries but quietly packs in a full cup of spinach. The berries’ bright sweetness completely masks the greens, so even green-smoothie skeptics drink it down.

The ‘power’ comes from Greek yogurt, which loads it with protein and gives the smoothie a thick, creamy body that keeps you full longer than a juice would. Almond milk thins it to a sippable consistency while keeping it light, and the strawberries bring natural sweetness with no added sugar.

It’s the kind of grab-and-go breakfast you can blend in the time it takes to find your keys. For the smoothest result, blend the spinach and liquid first until no flecks remain, then add the fruit and yogurt.

Kitchen Tips

• Blend the spinach with the almond milk first until totally smooth, then add the rest. No leafy bits, no green taste.
• Use frozen strawberries for a thick, frosty smoothie without watering it down with ice.
• Add a little more almond milk if it’s too thick, or more yogurt to thicken it up.

Variations

• Toss in a frozen banana for extra creaminess and natural sweetness.
• Add a scoop of protein powder, chia seeds, or nut butter for staying power.
• Swap the spinach for kale, or the strawberries for mixed berries or mango.
