About this recipe

This energizing smoothie combines banana, apple, spinach, strawberries and cucumber with Greek yogurt and almond milk. Spinach adds nutrients without dominating the flavor because the banana and apple provide natural sweetness, while Greek yogurt adds protein and makes the drink more filling.

Everything comes together in one blender in just a few minutes, making it useful for a quick breakfast. Chia seeds are optional and add extra fiber and omega-3 fats.
