Better with pineapple juice. Without it, it is far too chunky
I added a cup of milk to the mixture. It would not mix without some form of liquid. It was so good. Nice and sweet.
Very good! I didn’t add the banana cause I didn’t have them and it was very good! I also added milk and a little sugar
Made this exactly as written….it was way too thick. I had to add a cup of OJ to get it to smoothie consistency. Also, the color of the smoothie was less than appealing (it came out a weird brown with green specks), but otherwise, loved it and was truly surprised that it had 2 cups of spinach…which I didn’t taste at all. Can’t wait to make it again and have my 3 year old try it. Have my fingers crossed that he will like it! Nothing better than sneaking veggies in when your child hates almost every veggie there is.
I ended up with a brown sorbet. I added some orange juice. It needed some type of liquid. Tasted great but unfortunately the color and texture scared off my kids from trying it. I will try it again and hopefully end up with that recipe picture.
Really liked the flavor. I had to add about 1/2 cup of water because the consistency was similar to a very thick salsa. After the water was added it was like a milkshake that had to be eaten with a spoon. The color was brown, not green. Next time I won’t freeze the spinach to see if it is less thick. I used the Ninja 1500 watt blender. Easy to make. I would definitely make it again. Thanks for the recipe.
I tried this out last night. Instead of honey, I used one tablespoon of agave. I also added orange juice. Great recipe, never knew spinach would taste that good!
It was pretty good. I added some peanut butter to it because I love peanut butter. I didn’t use honey because I don’t really like it. I will use this shake again!
I used fresh strawberries and added a peach aswell. Another time we added some Malibu and made it a cocktail. …both times delicious.
Yum! First try with this smoothie, and it was so delicious! But instead of honey, I used agave. I had no problem blending, but that might just be because I was using a vitamix. You can’t taste the spinach at all, and the banana makes the smoothie nice and creamy. Again, especially nice using a vitamix because it liquified the seeds. Great idea for the kids, my daughter loved it!
Subbed ice with cold water and almond milk with some sugar since I didn’t have honey. Will need to make again but my results were pretty tasty. Even the kids liked it.
Not an appetizing color for a smoothie, flavor was o.k. though. I’m sure adding more spinach and less strawberries would improve the color, but would change the taste considerably. I also had to thin. Not my favorite sorry.
I looove this recipe. I’m thinking of tweaking it a bit to better suit my desire to jar about a weeks worth at a time.
Not enough liquid to make a smoothie. It only worked after adding a cup of liquid. I don’t understand by people don’t rate the actual recipe.
Tasty! You have to drink it fairly soon after making it. I made the mistake of making a lot and storing the leftover to drink later and it was not good. Follow the directions and serve immediately like it states and it is wonderful!
I would have given this 5 stars except that I too needed to add orange juice otherwise it wouldn’t mix (although that could have been bc of my blender as well, it’s just a basic one). Tastes FABULOUS!! I will be adding more spinach next time but this was the perfect amt for my first time trying a smoothie!
So I made this after I made a horrible creation of my own. I made this with a blender assuming everyone tries w a blender (silly me) and like another person said had the hardest time blending nonetheless it was good but 1 serving only got me like 4 ounces… that’s like the very bottom of the blender); hope to try again maybe w pineapple juice.
it was horrible i think my grandmother would have died if she drank this
Love it!! If u want to add a little protein just add 2 tablespoons of silk tofu– u really don’t taste it — and it is great!!!!!
Great recipe. I adjusted it for the single serving blender. I added 6 oz. of strawberry Activia and 1/4c of almond milk. My 11 yr old loved it.
This was my first try at a “green” smoothie and this recipe looked easy enough. I used fewer strawberries and threw in a couple of clementines and only half a banana. I left out the sweetener because I wanted to taste it first, and for me the spinach was a little strong but some agave nectar toned it down. I did add the ice but no other liquid and the consistency was perfect in the Vitamix. What a great way to get your greens! I will be making this often.
