- And, for additional calcium? Add plain or vanilla yogurt to keep you feeling fuller longer.
FAQ’s

2. Can we make additional servings? You can easily double or triple this recipe for more servings.
3. What kind of blender do we need? Any good brand blender will suffice. A Breville blender, Black & Decker, and even a Kitchen Aid are good blenders for smoothies.
4. Can we use frozen chopped spinach vs. fresh spinach? It’s best to use “fresh and organic spinach” in smoothies. Frozen chopped spinach (like BirdsEye boxes) contains too much water and will alter the taste and flavor of smoothies.

Hi Anna and Liz,
I find everything in this smoothie very healthy!
What do you think of using almond (or coconut) milk instead of just water?
Just one word of caution, though: you might want to take it easy with the raw spinach, you might ingest a lot of oxalates, and they are NOT very good for you.
Thanks!
XOXO

Hi Suzanne! I prefer water these days, since Almond milk is loaded with extra sugars and other ingredients that are not healthy. Coconut milk is Ok, but again, the fewer sugars added, the healthier the smoothie. Thank you for the info about oxalates, it is an option to add in some calcium to offset them like yogurt or milk. Thanks again!
