I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk in place of the soy milk, but cut it down to 2/3 cup. I also froze the banana before using. I added a half scoop of vanilla protein powder as well as a couple tablespoons of almond butter. This is probably the tastiest smoothie I have ever had; I could not even taste the spinach. Thanks for a fantastic base recipe that can easily be modified according to your tastes!
This is very tasty and a good base recipe. I had vanilla almond milk with a touch of honey so I used that. I also had a golden delicious apple to use up and used just a tsp of natural peanut butter. My banana was still a tiny bit green so the banana flavor isn't very strong. I taste NO spinach whatsoever! Every other flavor is represented subtly and it's a wonderful flavor! I was alittle worried because I just have a regular $10 blender that it wouldn't get the pieces small enough to drink but it worked fine. I can't afford a magic bullet or vitamix so I'm glad to know I can still enjoy a smoothie without it!
Perfect smoothie to get my morning going. I did as the reviewer suggested and subbed almond milk. I always have bananas in my freezer, so I used a frozen one which made the smoothie icy cold. I'm totally off sugar, so the banana made this smoothie plenty sweet for me.
I traded soy for regular milk. and added blueberries and protein powder.
Strong banana flavour and quite sweet. I prefer Breakfast Banana Green Smoothie. Others have suggested to use blueberries or canned pineapple for a different flavour. I used milk.
It comes out great every time. Thanks for sharing! The first time I used unsweetened almond milk, perfect. The second time I didn't have soy milk on hand so I used two percent. You just can't go wrong with this one!
Wow—this was amazing and uses ingredients I almost always have on hand. What a great way to get extra veggies in. I now make this several times a week so keep frozen strawberries and blueberries on hand...plus old bananas and bags of fresh spinach in the freezer to make the smoothies cold without adding ice. I only use 1/4-1/5 banana to add a touch of sweetness without lots of carbs. And I add 1 TB of a healthy seed mix (chia/flax/hemp) to make it extra filling and add protein, fiber and iron. I use soy milk and two big handfuls of spinach. Thanks for the basic recipe—it’s a winner!
This was a very simple smoothie to make and probably good for a newbie in the smoothie department. This was my very first smoothie and I liked it. I would probably add sugar next time (optional suggestion)
I subbed unsweetened almond milk for the soy milk it was really good I will definitely be making it again.
