I finally tried adding spinach to my protein shake. It's true, you can't taste it at all. :) It actually made the shake taste better & more refreshing!

I used:
1 scoop body fortress vanilla whey protein
1 cup raw organic baby spinach
1 dole organic banana
1 cup west soy vanilla nonfat soy milk

Calories 340
sugar 26
protein 34

The more spinach, the greener it gets.
Try it, it tastes awesome! :)

  • I love using spinach in my shakes. Definitely makes them taste better. Next time, try a little bit of kale for variety.

    I was so pleasantly surprised by how unnoticeable spinach was in fresh juice, but I haven't tried it in a shake. I'm going to do that!

    & is kale good? I don't think I've ever had it!

    I tried this tonight...

    Not too bad.

    The banana I used wasn't totally ripe yet, I couldn't wait to try it :)

    I also used 1% milk, didn't have vanilla soy handy.

    Will be a bit sweeter in a day or two with the right ingredients and a ripe banana I bet.
