Ingredients

  • 1 scoop FITAVID Vanilla Whey Protein
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (packed)
  • 1 banana (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (optional, for creamier texture)
  • 1 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • Optional: 1 tsp honey, ½ avocado for extra creaminess

Swap Options

  • More greens: Add kale or cucumber for extra nutrients
  • Dairy-free: Use coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt
  • Lower sugar: Use ½ banana and add ¼ avocado for creaminess
  • Tropical twist: Add ½ cup frozen pineapple or mango

Instructions

  1. 1

    Add almond milk to blender first (liquids first = better blending)

  2. 2

    Add vanilla whey protein powder and Greek yogurt (if using)

  3. 3

    Add spinach—yes, the whole 2 cups! It will blend down significantly

  4. 4

    Add banana, almond butter, and ice cubes

  5. 5

    Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth with no spinach chunks

  6. 6

    Check consistency and color—should be bright green and smooth. Pour and enjoy!

Pro Tips

  • Use baby spinach for milder flavor—mature spinach can be bitter
  • Frozen banana makes it extra creamy and cold
  • Blend leafy greens with liquid first, then add everything else
  • Perfect for sneaking veggies into your diet without the "green" taste

Frequently Asked Questions

Nope! The banana and vanilla whey mask the spinach flavor completely. It'll taste like a sweet banana smoothie with zero "green" taste.

Yes, but start with 1 cup as kale has a stronger flavor. Baby kale is milder than mature kale.

This prevents chunks! Blending spinach with liquid first breaks it down completely before adding frozen ingredients.
