Green Protein Smoothie

A healthy breakfast or filling post-workout snack, this healthy Green Protein Smoothie has all the nutrients you need! This post will show you how to make it. And let me just say, your body will LOVE it!

If you like this protein smoothie, then you'll enjoy my Orange Protein Shake, Blueberry Protein Shake, and my Peach Protein Shake.

It took me quite a while to finally try adding spinach to one of my morning protein shakes. I mean, I love spinach and all...but...in my smoothie??? Then, on a wild and crazy whim, I decided to just go for it. And it was super good! Just like my Mango Green Fruit Smoothie, Kiwi and Kale Smoothie, and my amazing Strawberry Protein Shake.

For this protein smoothie, I use a frozen banana, peanut butter (because yum!), coconut milk, and fresh baby spinach along with Protein Powder.  The color turns a pretty green so you can start feeling all nature goddess-like, if you're into that sort of thing.

And if you prefer, you can swap or mix the spinach portion with fresh, raw kale. This tasty smoothie will leave you feeling satisfied, refreshed, rejuvenated, and nourished for sure.  Which is pretty much anything you can ask for in a protein smoothie.

Ingredients For Green Protein Smoothie

Unsweetened Coconut Milk: The key player behind making this smoothie rich and creamy is unsweetened coconut milk.  You can also opt for your milk of choice, if you prefer.

Frozen Banana: Adding frozen banana to your green protein smoothie creates a great creamy texture and natural sweetness.  If you don't care for bananas, you can swap for frozen mangoes or another fruit.

Peanut Butter: Nut butters can make your smoothies extra filling. The downside is it can bump up the calorie count so I suggest sticking to a tablespoon only.

Fresh Baby Spinach: With a light and delicate flavor, I've come to absolutely love baby spinach. It really blends so nicely into your green protein smoothie. 

Vanilla Protein Powder: Before I started adding some protein powder into my smoothies, I would get hungry soon after. When you get protein powder into the mix, you'll stay satiated and energized way longer.  My absolute fave protein powder is Cleanish Plant-Based Protein because it is delicious, clean protein without any of the junk.
