    4 oz Chobani plain greek yogurt, 1/2 cup unsweetened plain almond milk, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, half frozen banana, 1 tsp. instant espresso powder, 4-5 ice cubes -- tastes like a thick chocolate/mocha shake!

    1.5 cups spinach
    70 g thawed mango (I get it frozen)
    1 banana
    1 cup almond milk
    if I know I'm going to workout I'll add a scoop of protein powder

    or

    1 cup spinach
    1 cup strawberries
    0.5 cup blueberries
    0.5 banana
    1 cup almond milk
    1 scoop protein powder (sometimes)

    The second one turns an... interesting... color, but I don't mind it. It smells good to me. The first one is a nice shade of green.

    one of my best friends does the same thing every morning.....adds a handful of spinach to each smoothie and he says he can't taste the spinach because it's overpowered by the fruit. Super smart!

    personally, I do one little container of yogurt, half a cup of soy/almond milk, half a cup of frozen fruit and half a cup of ice. add more ice if you want it thicker. I definitely want to try spinach in mine though! :)

    When I make mine with spinach, I don't taste it!! Especially if there are bananas or berries, since they have stronger flavors. Actually, all I really taste is the almond milk and the vanilla soy protein powder when I use it.

    I have also recently started putting spinach in my smoothies and love it! My current recipe is:

    2 handfuls spinach
    1 tbs chia seeds
    1 tsp wheatgrass powder
    1 scoop soy protein powder
    1 banana
    1 handful frozen raspberries/cherries
    250ml soy milk

    It is so yummy and super filling - depending on the amount of fruit I put in though it can be a rather unappetising shade of brown but I don't care as I love the flavour

    I was afraid to try the spinach as well, but now I add it to all my fruit smoothies! Can't taste it at all, just the fruit. :) My typical smoothie is:

    Banana
    1/4 cup tropical fruit juice (either Dole or Trader Joe's - I love the flavor of passion fruit!!)
    Vanilla protein powder
    ice
    A couple handfuls of fresh spinach

    Sometimes I add strawberries or other fresh fruit if I've got it.

    I used to also add plain Greek yogurt, but decided to save that for evening snacks with fresh berries & honey - I get enough protein in the smoothie from the powder. :smile:
